Transfiguration (c. 1530) by Savoldo

Transfiguration is a c. 1530 oil on panel painting by Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo of the Gospel episode the Transfiguration of Jesus. It is now in the Uffizi in Florence, which also holds a preparatory drawing for the work (n. 12803). Another study for the work is in the Pontus de la Gardia collection in Switzerland, whilst a late 16th century copy of the painting by Lomazzo is now in the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, in Milan.

Marco Boschini described the work whilst it was in cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici's collection. At that time it was attributed to an unknown Venetian artist, though it was later reattributed to Tintoretto and then back to Savoldo. [1]

<i>Transfiguration</i> (Raphael) Painting by Raphael

The Transfiguration is the last painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. Cardinal Giulio de Medici – who later became Pope Clement VII – commissioned the work, conceived as an altarpiece for Narbonne Cathedral in France; Raphael worked on it in the years preceding his death in 1520. The painting exemplifies Raphael's development as an artist and the culmination of his career. Unusually for a depiction of the Transfiguration of Jesus in Christian art, the subject is combined with the next episode from the Gospels in the lower part of the painting. The work is now in the Pinacoteca Vaticana in the Vatican City.

<i>The Raising of Lazarus</i> (Sebastiano del Piombo)

The Raising of Lazarus is a large altarpiece of 1517–1519 by the Italian High Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo, for which Michelangelo supplied drawings for some figures.

Until 25 June 2017 it is in the exhibition Michelangelo & Sebastiano at the National Gallery, together with several of the preparatory drawings for it by both artists, and letters between them.

Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo Italian painter

Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo, also called Girolamo da Brescia, was an Italian High Renaissance painter active mostly in Venice, although he also worked in other cities in northern Italy. He is noted for his subtle use of color and chiaroscuro, and for the sober realism of his works, which are mostly religious subjects, with a few portraits. His portraits are given interest by their accessories or settings; "some even look like extracts from larger narratives".
