Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel, is proud to be redefining the art experience through digital innovation. In partnership with Save the Artistic Heritage and the Pinacoteca di Brera, this is a pioneering, world-first initiative, to bring a rare Italian masterpiece to Mayfair.
From December 2024 until April 2025, a limited-edition digital reproduction of Raphael’s ‘The Marriage of the Virgin’, certified by the Pinacoteca di Brera, will be showcased in the historic Kipling Suite.For suite guests, it is a unique experience to live with a masterpiece, which will also be available for viewing at a limited number of exclusive, invite-only events.
The piece is displayed in a 1:1 scale on a cutting-edge, high-resolution screen, offering a rare opportunity to admire this iconic artwork, in a unique, private setting, outside the walls of its Milanese museum, Pinacoteca di Brera.
An extension of the original masterpiece, this artwork has been created by art and technology innovators Cinello, seamlessly blending the physical and digital worlds. Presented in a meticulously handcrafted reproduction of the original frame, this piece is an exact, to-scale digital replica of Raphael’s masterpiece, created in partnership with the Pinacoteca di Brera, who have granted rights to convert their prized artwork into flawless digital art.
Rooted in Italian heritage, and with a strong history of supporting arts and culture, Rocco Forte Hotels is dedicated to providing exceptional experiences for its guests.
This new partnership follows on from the brand’s support of the iconic exhibition ‘Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael: Florence, c. 1504’ at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, furthering the profile of Italian Renaissance masters outside Italy.

About Raphael’s The Marriage of The Virgin
Raphael’s The Marriage of the Virgin (170 x 118 cm), painted in 1504 for the church of San Francesco in Città di Castello, has been housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan since 1805. Signed "Raphael Urbinas" and dated MDIII, the piece marks Raphael’s artistic maturity. Inspired by Perugino’s altarpiece of the same subject (now in Caen), Raphael’s composition mirrors its predecessor but introduces unique refinements. The painting depicts the marriage of Mary and Joseph, with a priest at the center joining their hands. Women stand to Mary’s left, while men stand to Joseph’s right; one man is seen breaking a branch, symbolizing his missed opportunity with Mary, while Joseph’s branch blossoms. In the background, a sixteen-sided temple serves as the work’s optical focal point, with Raphael’s signature placed above the main arch. Infrared reflectography reveals precise lines defining the temple’s perspective, reflecting techniques derived from Piero della Francesca’s De Prospectiva Pingendi. The calculated arrangement of figures and harmonious proportions embody Raphael’s belief in idealized beauty as a guiding principle for how nature “should” appear.
