About this copy
Rare among artists, Raphael achieved almost universal recognition during his lifetime, and this richly illustrated volume in the Portraits of Greatness series explores the man and the brilliant world of Renaissance Italy that shaped him. From his early years as a follower of Perugino, through his work at St Peter's and the Vatican, Raphael's journey is traced alongside the great figures he was so often compared with, including Leonardo and Michelangelo. A handsome hardback, complete with its dust jacket, featuring over 120 illustrations, more than 80 of them in full colour, covering the portraits, Madonnas and frescoes that made Raphael's name.
