Vintage Framed Artwork "Madonna and Child with Young Saint John the Baptist" After Raphael - Published by New York

This is a beautifully framed vintage reproduction of a Renaissance masterpiece depicting the Madonna and Child with the young Saint John the Baptist. Rendered in the High Renaissance style, the image closely follows the iconography and serene composition seen in works by Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), one of the most celebrated artists of the early 16th century.

At the center, the Virgin Mary holds the Christ Child lovingly on her lap. She gazes outward with a calm, maternal expression, while the child looks slightly over his shoulder. At the right, young Saint John the Baptist, identifiable by the faint cross he holds, offers a gesture of reverence and spiritual connection. The figures are softly illuminated, with tender facial expressions and detailed drapery, evoking the divine intimacy often seen in Raphael’s tondo (round) compositions.

This artwork is set in a round (tondo) frame finished in a classic gold tone, enhancing its traditional and sacred feel. The image is labeled “Publication of New York”, indicating it is a mid-20th century reproduction, likely produced for decorative or devotional use. While not an original, the quality and subject matter reflect a high regard for classical fine art traditions.
