Raphael

The 36 Raphael reproductions provide a detailed portrait of the life and artistic development of this extraordinary Renaissance master. One of the most prominent works is the Madonna con il Bambino di Casa Santi, the first painting attributed to him as a young man, which would be followed by masterpieces of rare beauty. There are portraits of remarkable intensity, such as that of Baldassarre Castiglione, and the delicate figures of the Madonnas, including the Madonna del Granduca and the Madonna della Seggiola, which highlight his refined style. The culmination is his final masterpiece, the Transfiguration, to which the Raphael dedicated his final brushstrokes. More so than any other artist, Raphael was a role model for painters who shared his ideals and, after his death, his influence spread rapidly throughout Italy, profoundly shaping the figurative culture of future generations.
