Rafael's 'Small Cowper Madonna'

And the Aryan Racial Soul

REPRODUCED ABOVE is the painting known as the "Small Cowper Madonna." It was created by the High Renaissance artist Rafael in 1504-1505 (oil on panel, 23.4" by 17"). You may view it today in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. - and it is even more spectacular in person than in this digital version.

Supposedly, it portrays Mary and the infant Jesus (Mariam and Iso' in their native tongue of Aramaic). But clearly, this is not the depiction of a Roman-era Semitic woman and her child. Rather, it is a portrait of an Aryan woman and toddler, with European features, fair skin and fair hair.

Indeed, it could be a painting of Sieglinde and Sigurd from the Norse tradition, or of the historical Thusnelda and Thumelicus (wife and son of Arminius).

For what has happened here is that the artist has produced images of the Divine that emanated from his racial soul. He could only envision the perfect mother and child as an ideal consistent with his racial soul - regardless of the actual ethnic/historical context. Through his racial personality as an artist, he manifested the ideal of the Aryan racial soul in concrete form.
