Synopsis"Elegance diligence, and good manners" were the characteristics attributed to Raphael by his contemporaries, in whose presence "all bad emotions melted away" (Vasari).The author explores the short but intensive life and work of this "mortal god, " from the formative period at the refined court of Urbino, through contacts with the lively artistic centres of Umbria and Florence, to the fertile years in the Rome of Julius II and Leo X. Written over-a period of many years, and supplemented by the results Of recent research, this highly illustrated volume by the internationally known scholar Konrad Oberhuber, provides a unique and much needed, in-depth study of Raphael's painting.
