Vergine bella, che di sol vesta,
coronata di stelle, al sommo sole
piacesti si che 'n te sua luce ascose,
amor mi spinge a dir di te parole:
ma non so 'ncominciar senza tu 'aita
e di colui ch'amando in te si pose
invoco lei che ben sempre rispose,
chi la chiamo con fede.
Vergine, s'a mercede
miseria estrema de l'umane cose
giá mai ti volse, al mio prego t'inchina;
socorri alla mia guerra,
ben ch'i sia terra e tu del ciel regina.

Francesco Petrarca

Such a beautiful painting and beautiful music. The faces of the Holy family & Saints were (as the customs of the times) real people of high standing and importance. To find out who they were ck my video and follow the links. Prepare to be very astounded. Please help make aware the customs behind these paintings and support the historian that brought this knowledge to us thought years of studying the symbols and customs of the Renaissance. Thank you.

Fine version of Palestrina and Petrarca's Vergine Bella. The child at the bottom of the painting must be St John the Baptist, Jesus' precursor and cousin.

Non si può fare meglio omaggio alla Vergine Maria, vi ringrazio molto.

El título de este Madrigal ya dice Bella Virgen, la música de Palestrina y la pintura tan poética de Bronzino estan a la altura de esta belleza.
