L'auteur r???examine toutes les grandes p???riodes de sa courte carri???re, qu'il d???barasse de poncifs accumul???s au fil des si???cles. Il garde ??? l'esprit la composante la plus profonde de son art: son rapport ??? la beaut??? li???e ??? la dialectique de l'amour terrestre et de l'amour c???leste, qui au tournant du XV???me et du XVI???me si???cles, ???tait au coeur du d???bat de la philosophie d'amour, mais ??? laquelle il su donner une expression concr???te ??? travers l'image. Si Rapha???l ???tait incomparable aux yeux des humanistes et des lettr???s de la cour du pape L???on X c'???tait, selon les mots d'Andr??? Chastel rapport???s par De Vecchi parce que l'on percevait, dans la perfection de la forme, une dimension m???taphysique de la beaut???. Tous les grands tableaux de l'artiste sont ici reproduits, mais ???galement un nombre important de dessins et de gravures, permettent de comprendre la conception de ses oeuvres et leur diffusion. Son travail d'architecte et de d???corateur (Loges, Chambres, villa Madame...)y est ???galement abord???.

Description: "In his 'Lives of the Artists', Vasari wrote: 'While we may term other works paintings, those of Raphael are living things, the flesh palpitates, the breath comes and goes, every organ lives, life pulsates everywhere. ' In this extensively illustrated book featuring some 300 illustrations, the author takes a critical look at the life and work of Rafaello Sanzio, or as he signed certain paintings, Raphael Urbinas, in homage to his native city of Urbino. Described as 'an artist touched by grace, ' he is considered, along with Michelangelo and Leonardo, to be one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance. Raphael (1483-1520), whose birth and death were on a Good Friday, belonged to a family of merchants; aside from his training in the studio of Perugino, little is known about his earliest years. He arrived in Florence in 1504, where he studied the masters and produced magnificent paintings of the Madonna, as well as remarkable portraits. In 1508 he went to Rome, where he died a dozen years later at the height of his powers, after creating monumental works at the Vatican. De Vecchi re-examines the scholarship surrounding each of the major periods of Raphael's short career, dispelling the myths about him that have accumulated over the centuries. He reminds us that the most "profound" element of Raphael's art was his striving to express the dialectic between earthly and heavenly love, an important concern of his contemporaries. The coverage of the text extends beyond the paintings to Raphael's significant work as an architect and designer of interiors. "--with a bonus offer--
