* This volume charts Raphael's history through the reproduction of all his pictorial works, from his formative years until his rise in central Italy and his triumph in RomeThis book celebrates the extraordinary talent of Raphael, 500 years after his death. This is the story of an unequaled master whose figure has suprassed that of other leading figures of the Renaissance. His talent grew with astonishing rapidity, starting with the years of training at the workshop of his father Giovanni Santi: in 1500, at only 17 years old, he was already defined 'magister'. The author leads us into the folds of the extraordinary story of Raphael, studded with masterpieces that have become cornerstones in the history of art, and helps us to understand his timeless talent through new comparisons and explanations. The deep knowledge and the profound passion of the author make reading the book exciting and unforgettable.
