The Sistine Madonna, created between 1513 and 1514 by the Renaissance master Raphael Sanzio, is a work that has transcended the boundaries of time and religion to become a universal icon of beauty and spirituality. The painting was commissioned by Pope Julius II for the monastery of San Sisto in Piacenza, as a personal tribute. Julius II belonged to the powerful Della Rovere family, and through this work, he sought to honor his family and religious devotion. The piece was made to be part of the high altar of the monastery church, a place that became its home for two centuries.
