Raphael and the Madonna
From Early Work to Mastery
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death (1483–1520) this special exhibition is centred around Dresden’s masterpiece by the Renaissance artist – the Sistine Madonna. The original setting and theological message of the famous altarpiece are brought vividly to life.

For the duration of the exhibition, the Sistine Madonna will be installed opposite a recreated choir screen surmounted by a crucifix. The frightened gazes of the Infant Christ and his mother are directed – as formerly in the abbey church of San Sisto in Piacenza – towards the back of the crucifix. This new staging enables visitors to experience the rich context of Raphael’s painting.
