Publisher's Synopsis
"Raphael Santi" is a detailed account of the life and work of the Renaissance master artist Raphael, written by Edward McCurdy and first published in 1917. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483 - 1520) was an Italian architect and painter during the High Renaissance. His work is famously characterised by a clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he is part of the trio of great masters during that period. Contents include: "Environment", "Record", "Personality", "Place in Art", "Achievement-Studied in Certain Examples", "The Vision of a Knight", "The Madonna Constabile", "The Crucifixion", "The Marriage of the Virgin (Lo Sposalizio)", "The Madonna del Gran Duca", "Raphael Santi", "The Portrait of Angelo Doni", etc. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in art and its most famous practitioners. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
