The archetypal artist of the High Renaissance, Raphael is regarded
as one of the greatest painters of all time. Particularly noted for his
paintings of Madonna and Child, his art spanned religious and classical
subjects and included a number of portraits and frescoes that are
renowned for the excellent skill and grandeur they convey. This
beautifully illustrated new book discusses Raphael's life as well as the
themes, styles and techniques of his art, along with examples of his
most famous works like The School of Athens, Sistine Madonna, The
Triumph of Galatea and Transfiguration.
