Masters of Italian Art. Raphael

Más información sobre el libro

Raphael (1483-1520) was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition, and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. This volume features numerous large-sized illustrations showcasing the artist's oeuvre, along with authoritative texts that illustrate the decisive stages in the artist's life and the development of his work, explaining their significance in the context of his time and for subsequent generations of artists.
