Transfiguration by Raphael Roman school, 18th century
Roman school, 18th century
Technique: oil painting on canvas
Dimensions: 103 x 69 cm
This canvas replicates Raphael's Transfiguration, the painting preserved in the Vatican Pinacoteca, the last work done by the artist before he died. Raphael's work, as well as the one in question, simultaneously depicts two episodes treated in the Gospels. Above, the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor alongside prophets Moses and Elijah, with the presence of the apostles Peter, John and James. The two saints appear at the top left: Felicissimo and Agapito, recurrently celebrated on August 6, the day also of the Solemnity of the Transfiguration. In the lower part the other apostles meet the boy who will be miraculously healed by Jesus on his return from Mount Tabor. The work in question is a detailed copy taken from the original, while the darker colors indicate the eighteenth-century Roman school.
Conservation status: good, rilined
