Bring the art of the Renaissance to your Christmas tree with The Goldfinch, a blown glass Christmas ornament inspired by Raphael's masterpiece The Madonna of the Goldfinch, preserved in the Uffizi Gallery, in Florence.
The goldfinch, with its golden plumage and bright red wings, has been a symbol of spirituality and devotion in sacred art for centuries: according to tradition, a goldfinch flew to comfort Christ on the cross, staining itself red with divine blood, becoming a sign of love, purity, and redemption.
The representation of natural elements—the goldfinch, the hilly landscape, the vegetation—is faithful to the Raphaelesque style thanks to the mastery of the glassmakers, who apply the paint by hand on blown glass, reproducing the soft perspective and warm tones typical of Raphael.
