Synopsis

This detailed account of the Florentine phase of the great painter Raphael's career offers fascinating insights into his artistic development. The author explores how Raphael's departure from his mentor Perugino's style and his move to Florence exposed him to the innovations of Leonardo and Michelangelo. The text delves into the changes in Raphael's work, which became more dynamic and expressive through his engagement with his new surroundings. The analysis of the paintings produced during this period showcases Raphael's profound understanding of composition, color, and emotional depth, notably in works like the iconic Sposalizio and the moving Entombment. Overall, this book provides an accessible and illuminating guide to the period that marked the transition of Raphael from a promising young artist to one of the greatest masters of the High Renaissance.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Latin studies. Often, too, he would descend into the narrow streets at the foot of the castle hill and walk freely up and down among his subjects, entering their workshops and talking with the peasants on market days, and so beloved was he by all, that the people fell on their knees and cried God keep you !as he passed. At this model court Raphael sfather, Giovanni Santi, held a distinguished position, both as a painter and a poet. Originally natives of Colbordolo, a village in the hills above the valley of the Foglia, theS anti saw their homes laid waste by an inroad of Sigismondo Malatesta in 1446. Four years later, fearing a second incursion of the enemy, they took shelter within the walls of Urbino. Here they carried on their trade as corn and oil dealers, and, in 1464, bought a house in one of the steep streets at the corner of the market-place, known at that time as the Contrada del Monte, to-day as the Contrada Raffaello. Giovanni, who was born before 1440, recalls the perils of his youth and the flames that consumed the paternal nest in his verses, and sighs over the ceaseless round of domestic cares, of all the ills that flesh is heir to, the most wearisome, but which nevertheless have not hindered him from embracing the splendid art of painting la mirabile eclarissima arte di pttura of which noble calling he does not blush to call himself the servant. Yet he seems to have been a fortunate and prosperous man. When he was about forty, he married Magia Ciarla, the daughter of anU rbino tradesman, who brought him a dowry of 150 florins, and at the death of his father, in 1485, inherited the chief part of his property in land and houses. By this time he was an artist of considerable reputation, although he still plied his trade in corn and ropes and oil, and carved images and gilded candelabra, as well as painted altar-pieces for the churches of Urbino.
