Publisher's Synopsis
This title focuses on a crucial but hitherto neglected part of Raphaels oeuvre: the work he and his pupils executed in Rome during the seven years from 1513 to the artist's death in 1520. Nearly ninety works including paintings such as 'Saint Cecile' and 'Portrait of Baldassere Castiglione', as well as many significant drawings, illustrate the ways in which Raphael employed an astonishing range of technical devices, many of which were highly novel and enjoyed considerable subsequent influence.
