Rafael - Portrait of a Cardinal [1510]


The Portrait of a Cardinal is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid. It depicts an unidentified cardinal in the court of Pope Julius II. The portrait was acquired by Charles IV of Spain when he was still a prince, and the picture was attributed to Antonio Moro, due to its technique, considered unusual in Raphael.
