RAFFAELLO Sanzio (b. 1483, Urbino, d. 1520, Roma) Madonna and Child c. 1503 Oil on wood, 55 x 40 cm Norton Simon Museum of Art, Pasadena The Madonna is holding the Christ Child with great tenderness. The two are also linked as they read the book of hours that is open at the prayer of Nones, the ninth hour after dawn in the Church's day. The hour of the Annunciation, when the Virgin conceived her son, the ninth hour was also the hour of His death on the Cross. Pausing from their reading, they look at each other thoughtfully, calmly meditating on the events to come. --- Keywords: -------
