Madonna Del Cardellino Italian Tapestry
Madonna Del Cardellino is an Italian jacquard woven wall tapestry. It is an extract from Italian renaissance artist Raphael's painting, Madonna del Cardellino or Madonna of the Goldfinch completed about 1506. The Madonna is shown young and beautiful, as with Raphael’s various other Madonnas. She is clothed in red and blue, also typical, for red signifies the passion of Christ and blue was used to signify the church.
