Synopsis

Dive into the life of Raphael through the eyes of Herman F. Grimm, tracing how his art shaped modern education and taste. This edition blends biography, critical study, and the story of how copies, catalogs, and photographs broaden his reach.

This nonfiction work surveys Raphael’s major projects, from Madonnas to grand frescoes, and shows how later generations reinterpreted his art. It discusses how collectors, museums, and reproductions helped make his studio a cornerstone of art history, while exploring the evolving standards by which his works are judged.

- Learn how scholars distinguish authentic Raphael from works once attributed to him and how cataloging refined our view of his life
- Discover how the spread of photographic reproductions and engravings changed access to his art
- Understand the different stages of his career, from early Madonnas to celebrated masterpieces
- Follow the author’s personal journey as a student of art history and a careful analyst of paintings, drawings, and context

Ideal for readers of art history who want a clear, thoughtful look at Raphael’s life, his studio practice, and how later generations came to know his work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is as if I were an American speaking to A mericans. Your translations are so spirited that I sometimes feel as if an author were at work in your Fatherland whose views are precisely the same as mine, and with whom I am strangely in unison. From my youth I have felt an interest and sympathy in A merica, although I have never been there. I can recall from the days of my far-off boyhood, the undefined, romantic feeling with which men strained their gaze across the oceans wide expanse from the fettered, pre-B ismarck Germany, to the opposite shores where Freedom dwelt. These sentiments, however, are by no means the ground of my present attachment to your country.
