Real client case reviewed by ConfirmArt for Tempi, attributed or related to Madonna. The public page presents selected visual evidence and a rendered report viewer without exposing the private commissioned PDF.
The depiction of the Madonna and Child is not just a religious icon; it is also a profound representation of motherly affection and purity. The emotional resonance of the scene is amplified by the warmth of the interaction between the figures, a key element that aligns with the spiritual and humanistic ideals of the Renaissance. Symbolic Elements The composition is rich with symbolic undertones; the colors traditionally associate Mary with heavenly grace (blue) and earthly passion or sacrifice (red).

Auction History
Initially, on February 11, 2024, the artwork was auctioned by NY Elizabeth Beverly Hills, CA, United States, although it remained physically located in London, UK.

Wood structure
By observing the wood structure of the painting's back panel, it seems improbable that the artwork is pre-19th century due to the wood not being very dark. This suggests that the wood may have been artificially obscured using varnish, yet some areas exhibit clearer wood where the varnish has worn or chipped away. Moreover, the cuts and forms of the wood pieces are very straight and likely machined, which is inconsistent with the woodworking practices from the early 1500s, the period when Raphael was active and ment

Coloring, Clothing and Motifs
Additionally, the paint condition on the artwork A1 is exceptional, with color tones that do not align with those typical of the 16th or 17th centuries. This is particularly evident in the skin tones of Madonna and the child. Even assuming the artwork underwent restoration, the employed colors usually match the hues beneath, which in this case, do not reflect the color palette associated with Raphael's time or that of 17th century Old Masters.
08
Underdrawing and Preparation Layers
Renaissance panels often included extensive underdrawings, covered by a priming layer of gesso. Infrared reflectography can be employed to examine A1 for such preparatory layers. Deviations in foundational techniques or the absence of expected underdrawing could further confirm that A1 is not a product of the 16th century.
