Product Description

Product Description
This book examines one of the masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance and the artist’s best known work. Commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the walls of his private library, Raphael’s fresco ‘School of Athens’ represents the gathering of the philosophers of the ancient world around the central figures of Plato and Aristotle. Presented in this volume is the early criticism of the fresco, by Bellori and Wolfflin, along with new interpretations, published in this volume for the first time, of its iconography in relation to the other frescoes in the Stanza and in the context of the humanism and rhetorical tradition of the papal court; analysis of Raphael’s groundbreaking use of light and color; and an inquiry into the role of Bramante and antique architecture in Raphael’s design.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raphael in a Nutshell, 27 Jan 2002

By	karlols@msn.com (Modesto, California) - See all my reviews

This is the most extraordinary book I have read on a painter. Mr. Zeri puts this individual alive and gives us a personal trip into this artist. We know in short term, his personality, where he lived, who he met and most of all what he did and why he did. This is a teaser to explore more about this most talented man. I visited the Pantheon in Rome, and saw his burial place. A desire he had and was fulfilled. The man is brilliant and has given us all so much in the period of the Renaissance to understand and re-live the period in our minds. To read of this man and look upon his art is an emotional ride in history and appreciation for the beauty of real Art.
