1511
unspecified
From the collection of Vatican Museums
Burning bush is a 1511 unspecified by Raphael, a High Renaissance work, held at Vatican Museums.
This painting shows a scene from the Bible. In the center, a bush is on fire, but it's not being destroyed. Around it are angels and other figures. The colors are mostly shades of orange and yellow for the fire, with some white and gray for the people and the background. The painting has a lot of details, like the flames and the expressions on the faces. It's painted in a way that makes it look very realistic. The artist used a technique to make the light and dark parts look very different, which helps the scene feel more real. If you like this painting, you might also want to look at the work of the artist Raphael.
Raphael was born Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino on April 6, 1483, the son of Giovanni Santi, a painter and poet attached to the ducal court.
