Synopsis

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483-1520) was a painter and architect of the Florentine school in the Italian High Renaissance. Stirred by a perpetual urge to experiment in the twenty years of his career, he studied first in Umbria, with his father Giovanni Santi, then in Pint Uricchio and in Perugino. When he studied in Florence, he adopted the styles of Leonardo and Michelangelo, and in Rome, Venetian painting and the masterpieces of classical art. He is best known for his Madonnas and for his large figure compositions in the Vatican in Rome, all illustrated in this enlightening book.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The Art Gallery Series is an affordable, high-quality range with a fresh approach, which reaches beyond the usual selection of Old Masters and Impressionists. Alongside books on celebrated figures like Raphael, you will find titles devoted to lesser-known artists such as the Pollaiuolo Brothers, as well as surveys of entire art-historical periods. Subjects range from mediaeval to contemporary and will soon include non-Western art.

This is a flexible series, varying its length to suit its theme: titles on specific artists will have 80 pages (32 colour plates) or 112 pages (48 color plates), while those looking in detail at particular periods in art will be 160 pages in length (64 color plates).

About the Author:
