He had an extraordinary and perhaps unrivalled capacity for self-reinvention—as he progressed from Umbria to Florence and Rome—and an ability to draw strength from the other great artists around him, seemingly growing in stature the more daunting the competition became.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis insightful, impeccably researched, and comprehensive volume chronicles the progress of his career in all its richness and complexity. Sumptuous production values and generous illustrations go hand in hand with its rigorous and wide-ranging scholarship. The essays explore Raphael’s paintings and drawings, his frescoes in the Vatican Stanze, his designs for tapestries, sculptures and prints, and his engagement with architecture. Detailed and authoritative catalogue entries examine many of Raphael’s finest works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by National Gallery Company\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe National Gallery, London\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e April 9–July 31, 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47341055017196,"sku":"9781857096583","price":95.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5350123482849.jpg?v=1772182089","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/raphael-by-david-ekserdjian-9781857096583","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
