Raphael - Treccani

Large in format and with refined graphic quality, the volume opens with an essay by Vincenzo Farinella introducing the reader to Raphael's artistic journey. The text traces the Master's biography and the evolution of his art through sources and a well-documented comparison with contemporary artists. The aim is to guide the reader on a journey of rediscovery of this great artist, an experimental and highly modern genius, through a concise and challenging critical essay—both of his life and his works—accompanied by a wealth of color images, as well as an exclusively iconographic section (Il Percorso Artistico) that superbly illustrates his finest and best-known works. The catalogue raisonné of his works contains new attributions and chronologies that have emerged over the last thirty years of scholarship on the artist. Finally, an extensive bibliography is provided, updated with the most recent titles, which also provides insights into the artist's background, including references to sixteenth-century sources and documents useful for reconstructing the artist's biography.
