Charles Paul London was an early 19th-century French painter best-known, however, for his writings on art history and eminent painters. One such work was 'Life and Works of Most Famous Painters'
– a collection of impressive tomes on the most famous artists. These four tomes from the early 19th-century first edition focuses on the life and work of Raphael, perhaps the most important Italian painter of the Renaissance. It contains hundreds of illustrations of the sketches and art of Raphael.
