The painting now residing in Chantilly, France, thought lost since the time of the French Revolution (1789–1799), is believed to be the original.In October 1979, the Musée Condé held an exhibit titled La Madona de Lorette to present and document the newly cleaned and version of the painting, which was found to be the original Raphael painting. The exhibit was held at the request of the Institut de France, administrator of Musée Condé, and organized by the Louvre museum.Until 1979, the painting at Musée Condé had been attributed to Gianfrancesco Penni.The painting was determined to be the original Raphael Madonna painting for several reasons. First, the quality of the painting is extremely high, depicting an "admirable equilibrium of motives and a subtle mixture of force and grace" of "the best works of Raphael".   Second, the painting revealed through X-ray screening that Saint Joseph was painted after the Virgin and child were completed, based upon preparatory design or sketches, the changed could have only have been performed by Raphael and thus rules it out as a copy.
