Italy, In the manner of Raphael

In the manner of Raphael denotes an anonymous hand working after the example of the High Renaissance master, and the sole sheet catalogued under this heading belongs to that tradition of drawing in pen and brown ink. Its subject, the Madonna and Child with the Young Saint John the Baptist, is among the most familiar devotional themes of Italian Renaissance art, treated here as a composition rather than an original invention. The collection holds a single work attributed to this manner, executed in pen and brown ink, with no life dates or nationality recorded by the Met and no dating supplied for the sheet.
