The Solly Madonna by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael was painted somewhere between 1500 and 1504.An early work it clearly shows the influence of Raphael’s teacher Perugino. Two motifs in this work would recur in later Madonnas by Raphael. The virgin Mary is reading a book as in the Madonna and Child in the Norton Simon Museum the Connestabile Madonna the Madonna Colonna and the Madonna del cardellino.
