Description
A definitive overview of one of the most celebrated figures of the Italian Renaissance Among the great figures of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael (1483-1520) is unarguably the artist who has been most widely and consistently admired across the centuries. He had an extraordinary and perhaps unrivaled capacity for self-reinvention--as he progressed from Umbria to Florence and Rome--and an ability to draw strength from the other great artists around him, seemingly growing in stature the more daunting the competition became. This insightful, impeccably researched, and comprehensive volume chronicles the progress of his career in all its richness and complexity. Sumptuous production values and generous illustrations go hand in hand with its rigorous and wide-ranging scholarship. The essays explore Raphael's paintings and drawings, his frescoes in the Vatican Stanze, his designs for tapestries, sculptures and prints, and his engagement with architecture. Detailed and authoritative catalogue entries examine many of Raphael's finest works. Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University Press

Um dos livros mais bonitos de um dos maiores da renascença. Vale a pena a compra.

Es un catálogo de exposición muy útil.
Lo he consultado poco todavía, pues tengo bastante trabajo. Sin embargo, me parece una obra de referencia.

Gorgeous catalogue, well worth the buy
Note that this book focuses more on many of Raphael's individual paintings, sketches, and tapestries, rather than the frescoes in the Vatican for which he is now most famous. This book is a gorgeous treat, with a thorough yet readable biography of Raphael's artistic and personal life, as well as a very detailed catalogue with stunning reproductions. An overall superb book, I've been quite impressed with National Gallery publications so far.

Ik heb de grote overzicht tentoonstelling in Rome gemist. Dit boek voelt als een inhaalslag.
