Marriage of the Virgin by Raphael

Oil on curved panel. 170 x 117 cm. Milan, Pinacoteca di Brera. Signed and dated on the frieze and spandrels of the temple colonnade, Raphael Urbinas MDIII. Commissioned by the Albizzini family for the Chapel of St Joseph in the church of San Francesco in Citta di Castello.

Then it was sold back to the Milanese merchant Sannazzari. In 1804 it was inherited by the Ospedale Maggiore, Milan, and in 1806 acquired by the Accademia di Brera. It was imperfectly restored at the end of the nineteenth century, and was recently slashed by a lunatic. Brilliant restoration has completely concealed the damage.
