MIRACLE FOR A MADONNA
Author’s NoteRaphael, born in 1483, was one of the kindest and gentlest of the famous artists. Everyone loved him and he quarrelled with nobody.
He painted many pictures of the Madonna and each one has a beauty and serenity that portrays the perfection all men seek in a woman.
Few artists have been more loved and admired in their own lifetime and, after his death, he was posthumously enthroned as the perfect Master and ‘Prince’ of painters.
Paul Martin, born in 1864, was the most famous pioneer of photography in England and the ‘Facsimile’ Hand Camera provided him with some of his best pictures. Made in 1889 the price was then three pounds and three shillings.
Florence is still one of the treasure chests of Europe and the beauty of the City, the lucidity of the light and the very human qualities of its people remain unchanged over the centuries.
