Synopsis Raphael, Painter in Rome by : Stephanie Storey

Another Fabulous Art History Thriller by the Bestselling Author of Oil and Marble, Featuring the Master of Renaissance Perfection: Raphael! Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most iconic masterpieces of the Renaissance. Here, in Raphael, Painter in Rome, Storey tells of its creation as never before: through the eyes of Michelangelo’s fiercest rival—the young, beautiful, brilliant painter of perfection, Raphael. Orphaned at age eleven, Raphael is determined to keep the deathbed promise he made to his father: become the greatest artist in history. But to be the best, he must beat the best, the legendary sculptor of the David, Michelangelo Buonarroti. When Pope Julius II calls both artists down to Rome, they are pitted against each other: Michelangelo painting the Sistine Ceiling, while Raphael decorates the pope's private apartments. As Raphael strives toward perfection in paint, he battles internal demons: his desperate ambition, crippling fear of imperfection, and unshakable loneliness. Along the way, he conspires with cardinals, scrambles through the ruins of ancient Rome, and falls in love with a baker’s-daughter-turned-prostitute who becomes his muse. With its gorgeous writing, rich settings, endearing characters, and riveting plot, Raphael, Painter in Rome brings to vivid life these two Renaissance masters going head to head in the deadly halls of the Vatican.

Synopsis Raphael of Urbino and His Father Giovanni Santi by : Johann David Passavant

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... squandered his enormous income, that he often found himself in urgent need of money. Posterity sees Leo X. in such glowing colours, because, far more than his predecessor, he patronised authors and poets, who in their turn extolled the name of Medici as a protector of arts and letters far more highly than that of Rovere. On examining, however, the literary and artistic works during the reign of Leo X., we see a prevailing tendency to imitate too closely the antique style, so useful as a study; but at the period of which we speak it became a passion, and carried its votaries far beyond the natural limits: they no longer sought merely to imitate the perfect forms and the sentiment of the beautiful with the ancients, but even carried their enthusiasm so far as to admire their failings. In painting, we find already amongst the artists who commenced their labours at the time when art had already reached its highest limits, a certain relaxing and an increasing propensity to a sort of sensualism. This propensity, at first scarcely sensible, soon degenerated into a vicious licence, and the rapid decay of art ensued. Raphael, more than any other artist, resisted this general fascination. He felt, indeed, a profound sympathy for the works of the Greeks and Romans of ancient times, but his noble nature always preserved him from the corrupting influences then beginning to be felt. His mythological subjects even, so marvellously endued with ancient taste, are always chaste and pure. He never deviated from the true path of art. At the accession of Leo X. Raphael had already passed five years at Rome. His position as an artist procured him the acquaintance of the most distinguished personages at the court, besides those whom he had formerly known at...

Synopsis ArtCurious by : Jennifer Dasal

A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as you've never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.

Synopsis The Life of Raphael by : Giorgio Vasari

Raphael was for centuries considered the greatest artist who ever lived. Much of what we know about him comes from this biography, written by Florentine painter Giorgio Vasari. The Life of Raphael is a key text not only for the appreciation of Raphael's art--whose development Vasari portrays in detail--but also for its unprecedented attention to theoretical issues. This stand-alone edition of The Life of Raphael, published to coincide with a major exhibition of the artist's paintings and drawings at England's National Gallery, illuminates the entire span of Raphael's astonishing art.
