Marriage of the Virgin,
Florence, Italy, 1504
According to the Golden Legend (a 13th
century collection of stories about saints’
lives), Joseph competed against other
suitors for Mary’s hand in marriage. The
high priest was to give the Virgin to
whichever suitor presented to him a rod
that had miraculously bloomed. Raphael
depicted Joseph with his flowering rod and
about to place Mary’s wedding ring on her
extended hand. Other virgins congregate
at the left, and the unsuccessful suitors
stand on the right.
Raphael Sanzio

larger; with the completion of the
work, the rooms became known
as "The Raphael Stanze" .

20. HIGH ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
Although she is shown as a young
woman, Isabella was 62 by the time
the work was painted. Titian had
originally painted a more aged
Isabella, but she was so displeased
with the picture that she made him
repaint it in an idealized form, so that
she looked forty years younger.
Her face and hands were given the
most attention, while her garment
fades into the background.

Michelangelo, Moses
1513-1515
Commissioned by Pope Julius II as
part of his immense tomb, (which was
never completed as planned…
Julius used more funds to the building
of St. Peter’s)
Horns on head were traditionally
meant to be divine, but scripture may
have meant that Moses was “radiant”,
not “horned”.
Inspired by Greek Hellenistic
sculpture Laocoon & Sons
