The Raphael: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society Hardcover - 2002

by Pierluigi De Vecchi; Raphael


From the publisher

Giorgio Vasari qualifiait Raphal d'artista aggraziato, artiste touch par la grce. Sans doute s'agit-il encore de l'une des plus justes manires d'voquer l'oeuvre de l'un des plus grands crateur de la renaissance italienne, aux ct de Michel-Ange et Lonard de Vinci.
L'auteur rexamine toutes les grandes priodes de sa courte carrire, qu'il dbarasse de poncifs accumuls au fil des sicles. Il garde l'esprit la composante la plus profonde de son art: son rapport la beaut lie la dialectique de l'amour terrestre et de l'amour cleste, qui au tournant du XVme et du XVIme sicles, tait au coeur du dbat de la philosophie d'amour, mais laquelle il su donner une expression concrte travers l'image. Si Raphal tait incomparable aux yeux des humanistes et des lettrs de la cour du pape Lon X c'tait, selon les mots d'Andr Chastel rapports par De Vecchi parce que l'on percevait, dans la perfection de la forme, une dimension mtaphysique 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 dcorateur (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.
