Synopsis

Notes On The Cartoons Of Raphael: Now In The South Kensington Museum And On Raphael's Other Works by Carl Ruland. This scholarly work surveys Raphael's famous cartoons, especially those lent to the South Kensington Museum, and discusses Raphael's other works including related tapestries, drawings, and studies. It explains the origin and preparation of the cartones, the involvement of Raphael's workshop (notably Giulio Romano, Francesco Penni, and Giovanni da Udine), and the transfer of cartoons to Arras looms for tapestry production. The text traces the cartoons' history from their creation in 1515–1516, through their dispersion during the sack of Rome, their eventual arrival in England, and their later custody in royal and public collections. It also presents a proposed exhibition idea and a detailed catalogue-like treatment of Raphael's Holy Families, biblical scenes, saints, portraits, and allegorical subjects, with references to engravings and historical copies. The book serves as a reference for Renaissance art scholars and students of Raphael's workshop.
