the Nationl Museum of Western Art
In this exhibision, I watched many pictures painted by Raffaello Santi(1483-1520) and his apprentices. And I like some pictures among these exhibision.
First, this is "the figure of saint's mother and child (聖母子像)". This visits to Japan for the first time. It was painted in 1505-1506 and owned by Palatina Museum now. It seems to be fill with the affection. I'm not a Christian, but I feel pious.

Second, this is"Saint Georgius and a dragon". It was painted in 1504-1505 and owned by Louvre Museum now. Saint Georgius(Saint George in English?) was born in Cappadocia and killed the dragon to rescue the princess. I'm interested in the legends of dragon-killer, so I enjoyed watching this.

After watching the exhibision, I went to the standing exhibision. The exhibision of Raffaero is called "the special exhibision(特別展)" and has time limit. On the other hands, the standing exhibision has no limit and has few exchanges of the exhibits. In the standing exhibision, I'm very much pleased with this picture, "Self-Portrait". This picture was painted by Marie-Gabrielle Capet(1761-1818) around 1783.I like this picture because the blue of this dress is very vivid and she is so charming.

Actually, this is first time that I visited here. However, I'm pleased with this museum. So I will recommend you to visit here!
Hi, this is Ms. MacGregor. What is the name of the artist in English? Is it Raphael? He was a famous artist in the Renaissance period. I think he lived in a period when 3-dimensional painting was developed. Is that right? Please tell me more about him.
