AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Introducing the Marlen Raffaello 500th Anniversary Collection: Self-Portrait
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of Raffaello Sanzio (Urbino 1483, Rome 1520), Marlen dedicates this limited-edition series of pens to him. Marlen reproduces two of his most famous paintings: the Self-Portrait and the Madonna of the Goldfinch, both painted between 1504 and 1506 and displayed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
The central part of the barrel of both pens is made of porcelain, on which a miniature of the painting has been reproduced using a special process. Two bronze rings decorated with Renaissance-inspired egg-and-dart motifs close it at either end. The cap is decorated with 3 mother-of-pearl resin rings (red for the Madonna of the Goldfinch, echoing the color of her dress; brown for the Self-Portrait, matching the tones of the background), alternating with an equal number of bronze rings. The cap and end pieces are made of glossy black resin for the Madonna of the Goldfinch and dark brown resin for the Self-Portrait.
