Raphael by Rudolf Gaertringen

Raphael by Rudolf Gaertringen

Raphael is considered, alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo, as the most important artist of the Italian Renaissance. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death and landmark exhibitions in Rome and London, this XL edition presents 108 paintings, his extensive fresco cycles, architectural projects and tapestries in unprecedented detail. A separate volume presents his more than 770 drawings.

“The search for powerful expressiveness is virtually unmatched in Raphael’s work” * The New York Times *
