Oddi Altarpiece (Raphael)
- Oddi Altarpiece (Raphael)
-
The Oddi Altarpiece is an altarpiece of the Coronation of the Virgin painted in 1502-1504[1] by the Italian Renaissance master Raphael for the altar of the Oddi family chapel in the church of San Francesco al Prato in Perugia, Italy. It is presently housed in the Vatican Pinacoteca.
The crowning of the Virgin
The crowning of the Virgin simply shows somewhat of a split screen:
- The coronation (the upper section) shows the virgin being crowned by Jesus, while angels are playing music;
- The girdle to Saint Thomas (the lower section) shows the apostles gathered around the empty tomb of Mary whose body raised to heaven. St Thomas holds in his hands the girdle Mary dropped down to him as a testament to her assumption.
The predella
The predella (39 × 190 cm) is composed of three 27 × 50 cm paintings:
- The annunciation (left)
- The adoration of the Magi (center)
- The presentation in the temple (right)
