Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints by Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio or Santi), oil and gold on wood, 1504. Raphael painted this altarpiece around 1504/5 for the small Franciscan convent of Sant' Antonio in Perugia. It hung in a part of the church reserved for the nuns, who are thought to have insisted on some of its conservative features, such as the elaborately clothed Christ Child. By contrast, the grave male saints are among the earliest evidence of Raphael's study of the work of Leonardo da Vinci and Fra Bartolomeo in Florence. The Colonna family in Rome acquired the altarpiece in 1678, and it is sometimes referred to by their name. Its purchase by the New York financier J. Pierpont Morgan received world press coverage.
