RAFFAELLO Sanzio (b. 1483, Urbino, d. 1520, Roma) The Transfiguration (detail) 1518-20 Oil on wood Pinacoteca, Vatican The transfigured Christ floats in an aura of light and clouds above the hill. He is shown against a bright light that strongly emphasizes the outline of His figure. Its brightness creates a striking effect when seen from a distance. The outstretched arms recall the shape of the Cross on which He died, and yet the figure is not stiff but elegant in appearance. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: RAFFAELLO Sanzio Title: The Transfiguration (detail) Time-line: 1501-1550
