Document Analysis The Marriage of the Virgin 1500-1504 Oil on round headed panel 170x121cm Pinacoteca di Brera , Milan Raffaello Sanzio, known as Raphael I have chosen The Marriage of the Virgin as a document analysis because I want to contrast this work with works of Perugino, especially Christ giving the Keys to St Peter (1481-1482) and also The Marriage of the Virgin (1500-1504).
