Description
Rome, 1520.
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known to the world as Raphael, died at the age of 37.
One of the foremost painters history has ever seen, his death marked the beginning of the end of the High Renaissance.
Henry Strachey’s fascinating biography unearths the man and the artist.
Looking at his early years in Perugia and Florence through to his last years in Rome, Strachey analyses what made Raphael great.
Looking at various aspects of Raphael’s work, from form through to colour, Strachey evaluates the various works produced in the short life.
He looks at Raphael not just as an artist of allegorical scenes, but also as a portrait painter and the illustrator.
In a thorough study of the man’s life Strachey provides forceful arguments against any of Raphael’s detractors.
This a classic study of Raphael is essential reading for anyone interested in High Renaissance art.
