TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS monogram iPhone Case

Graphic design by Alessandro Lumini (c) .The Transfiguration is considered the last painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael ( Raffaello Sanzio ). It was left unfinished by Raphael, and is believed to have been completed by his pupil, Giulio Romano, shortly after Raphael's death in 1520. The picture is now housed in the Vatican Museum ."Transfiguration" can be considered a prefiguration of both Mannerism, as evidenced by the stylised, contorted poses of the figures at the bottom of the picture; and of Baroque painting, as evidenced by the dramatic tension imbued within those figures, and the strong use of chiaroscuro throughout.The composition is divided in two distinct parts, relating to successive episodes of the Gospel of Matthew. The upper part of the painting shows the Transfiguration itself (on Mount Tabor, according to tradition), with the transfigured Christ floating in front of softly illuminated clouds, between the prophets Moses and Elijah with whom he is discoursing as recorded in the account of Matthew. The two figures kneeling on the left are the martyrs Saint Felicissimus and Saint Agapitus who shared August 6th as a feast day with the Feast of the Transfiguration.In the lower part, Raphael depicts the Apostles attempting, unsuccessfully, to free the possessed boy of his demonic possession. They are unable to cure the sick child until the arrival of the recently-transfigured Christ, who performs a miracle.
