The Small Cowper Madonna

The Small Cowper Madonna by Raphael Sanzio
(Italian, 1483-1520)
November 5, 2010 - January 24, 2011

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you should make it a point to see this remarkable piece at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. There are only four more days left to see Raphael's Madonna.

It is always amazing to see this works in person. The name Raphael gives you the impression of a larger than life work of art by one of the great Renaissance artists. Raphael was able to adapt Leonardo's draftsmanship and Michelangelo's color into his own.

Take the time this weekend to visit this masterpiece. Click here for directions and map.
