Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the life and work of Raffael, one of the most celebrated painters of the Italian Renaissance, as he became the first artist commissioned by the Pope to decorate the papal apartments in the Vatican. His glorious ceiling frescoes in the Vaticanâs Stanze della Segnatura epitomize High Renaissance classicism, integrating philosophical, theological and humanist thought within their majestic compositions. The author traces Raffael's artistic development, from his early years of training in his native Urbino through his time in the workshops of Perugino and Pinturicchio, to his flowering as a master in Florence and Rome, where he died at the age of just 37. The book places Raffael and his work in the context of the remarkable artistic and intellectual ferment of his time, and examines his enduring legacy as one of the most influential artists of all time.
