Giorgio Vasari, Florentine painter and architect, friend of Michelangelo and intimate of the Medici, is best known for his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, published in 1550 and in an enlarged edition in 1568. With more than two hundred biographies, it has for centuries been recognized as a seminal text in art history and one of the most important sources on the Italian Renaissance. It is to Vasari that we owe much of our knowledge of Raphael (1483–1520), who in his day was considered perhaps the greatest painter of all time. Rich in colorful anecdotes, The Life of Raphael is important for its sustained attention to the range of Raphael’s art, whose chronology and development Vasari describes in detail, together with the painter’s ample love life and spectacular social career. It also pays attention, unprecedented for its time, to theoretical issues. This edition, introduced by the scholar Jill Burke, includes thirty pages of color illustrations covering the entire span of Raphael’s oeuvre.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 188? edition. Excerpt: ... would seem as if Raphael's final establishment in Rome produced a change in the Madonna paintings. The Virgin with the Diadem, with Roman ruins in the background, is a significant proof of this. To my feeling, the most beautiful thing in it is the child asleep with his little arm under his head, from which the Virgin, kneeling in front, has raised the veil-like covering. By some critics the awestruck adoring boy John is supposed to be the work of another hand. About this time the Madonna di Loretto (in Vasari's time in Sta. Maria del Popolo) also originated, which has been missing since the wars of the first French Republic and is now known only through copies. Her face, and indeed her whole attitude, Raphael lent later to the allegorical goddess of Justice on the ceiling of the Camera della Segnatura. The last in the series of these first Roman Madonnas is that of Foligno, at first in Ara Coeli in Rome (the primitive church which it is said will soon disappear to make place for ths monument to Victor Emanuel), then in Foligno, afterwards in Paris, and to-day in the Vatican. Herder saw it in Foligno in 1788. He writes to his wife: "We have seen a Raphael much more beautiful than that in Loretto. Mary with her child upon the clouds; the child has risen from her lap and is about to step with one little foot upon the clouds. Below an excellent John the Baptist, a man who has a world in himself. A glorious piece, but alas injured; the nuns are allowing it to be ruined." I can agree with Herder only so far as regards the figure below, for the Madonna strikes me as having a certain conscious elegance which is peculiar also to other Madonnas of this first Roman period. Whoever gave the order for this painting may possibly have...

Craving pleasure as well as knowledge, Raphael Sanzio was quick to realize that his talent would only be truly appreciated in the liberal, carefree and extravagantly sensual atmosphere of Rome during its golden age under Julius II and Leo X. Arriving in the city in 1508 at the age of twenty-five, he was entranced and seduced by life at the papal court and within a few months had emerged as the most brilliant star in its intellectual firmament. His art achieved a natural grace that was totally uninhibited and free from subjection. His death, at just thirty-seven, plunged the city into the kind of despair that follows the passing of an esteemed and much loved prince. In this major new biography Antonio Forcellino retraces the meteoric arc of Raphael’s career by re-examining contemporary documents and accounts and interpreting the artist’s works with the eye of an expert art restorer. Raphael’s paintings are vividly described and placed in their historical context. Forcellino analyses Raphael’s techniques for producing the large frescos for which he is so famous, examines his working practices and his organization of what was a new kind of artistic workshop, and shows how his female portraits expressed and conveyed a new attitude to women. This rich and nuanced account casts aside the misconceptions passed on by those critics who persistently tried to undermine Raphael’s mythical status, enabling one of the greatest artists of all time to re-emerge fully as both man and artist.
