Published in collaboration with the Scuderie del Quirinale and the Uffizi to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death, this unique reference book serves as a complement to the Scuderie del Quirinale’s major exhibition and tribute to Raphael.
Once-in-a-life-time exhibition, Raphael 1520-1483 traces the entire creative life of the “divin pittore” of Urbino and presents a stunning selection of masterpieces: original works along with paintings, cartoons, drawings, tapestries, and architectural projects inspired by him.
World-famous paintings such as Madonna del Granduca and Woman with a Veil from the Uffizi, the magnificent St Cecilia altarpiece from the Pinacoteca di Bologna, Alba Madonna from the National Gallery of Washington, Madonna of the Rose from the Prado and the extraordinary, iconic Portrait of Baldassarre Castiglione from the Louvre are commented by the best international experts under the direction of Marzia Faietti and Matteo Lafranconi with the support of an international scientific committee headed by Sylvia Ferino-Pagden.
