He had an extraordinary and perhaps unrivaled capacity for self-reinvention--as he progressed from Umbria to Florence and Rome--and an ability to draw strength from the other great artists around him, seemingly growing in stature the more daunting the competition became. This insightful, impeccably researched, and comprehensive volume chronicles the progress of his career in all its richness and complexity. Sumptuous production values and generous illustrations go hand in hand with its rigorous and wide-ranging scholarship. The essays explore Raphael's paintings and drawings, his frescoes in the Vatican Stanze, his designs for tapestries, sculptures and prints, and his engagement with architecture. Detailed and authoritative catalogue entries examine many of Raphael's finest works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Company\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Ekserdjian, Tom Henry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857096584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857096583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.27h x 9.69w x 1.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023","brand":"David Ekserdjian","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042886742271,"sku":"9781857096583","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b50e142-7b0a-4239-b175-fa5b599d6c19.jpg?v=1684964089","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raphael-david-ekserdjian-9781857096583","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
