An Examination of a Seventeenth- Century Copy of Raphael’S Holy Family, C.1518
Uncovering the Original: An Examination of a Seventeenth- Century copy of Raphael’s Holy Family, c.1518. Annie Cornwell, Postgraduate in the Conservation of Easel Paintings Amalie Juel, MA Art History Uncovering the Original: An Examination of a 17th-Century copy of Raphael’s The Holy Family, c. 1518, The Prado Madrid. Introduction to The Project: This report has been written as part of the annual project Conservation and Art Historical Analysis, presented by the Sackler Research Forum at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Seeking to encourage collaboration between art historians and conservators, the scheme brings together two students - one from postgraduate art history and the other from easel paintings conservation - to complete an in-depth research project on a single piece of art. By doing so, the project allows a multifaceted approach combining historical research with technical analysis and, in this case, conservation treatment of the work in question. Focusing on the painting as a physical object with a material history, the project shows the value of combining art history with the more scientific aspects of the field of conservation. The focus of this project is a painting of the Virgin and Child with Saints Anne and John - a copy of Raphael’s Holy Family from the Prado - of unknown artist and date. It is owned by St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Wapping, where it had been recently found in a cupboard underneath the stairs. It came into the Courtauld Conservation Department to be treated by Annie Cornwell in November 2015, at which point it was in quite poor condition.

Her analysis of the style, history, and content of these three sheets adds enormously to our understanding of their origins and their interconnec- tions.

6 X 10.Long.P65
Cambridge University Press 052180809X - The Cambridge Companion to Raphael Edited by Marcia B. Hall Excerpt More information Introduction Marcia B. Hall Raphael is the rare painter who was never out of fashion. The closest he has ever come is the present reserved acknowledgment of his past glory. Even when he was criticized it was within the context that he was regarded as the nearly perfect paragon, as Giovanna Perini shows in her essay in this collection. Beginning early in his short life and continuing throughout the sixteenth century he continued to inspire new generations of successors. During his lifetime his generosity and geniality endeared him to patrons and pupils alike. After his death in 1520 his followers were able to learn his style, and it served as the fertile basis for their new inventions. This was in contrast to both his great contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who fostered slavish imitators but few, if any, followers with the freedom to develop their own art on the foundation of what they had learned from their master. Raphael was born in Urbino, the son of Giovanni Santi, who was charac- terized by Vasari as a painter “of no great merit, but of good intelligence.” Sometime after his father’s death in 1494, Raphael went to Perugia to assist Perugino, the most renowned painter in central Italy at the time. There is debate among scholars about whether he went as an apprentice or later as a more mature assistant in the workshop. The two authors in this volume who touch on this question, Jeryldene Wood and Sheryl Reiss, disagree.

Santa Maria del Popolo Piazza del Popolo Metro station: Flaminio, line A 7 AM – 12 PM (Closed Sunday) 4 PM – 7 PM (Closed Sunday) Sculpture of Habakkuk and the Angel by Bernini (after 1652) in the Chigi Chapel Crucifixion of St. Peter (1600-01) by Caravaggio in the Cerasi Chapel. Baroque facade added by Bernini in 1600 Standing on the Piazza del Popolo, near the northern gate of the Aurelian Wall, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo is a small temple with a splendid Renaissance decoration in its interior. In its interior Santa Maria del Popolo’s decoration is unlike any other church in Rome. The ceiling, less high than most built during the same period, is practically bare, while the decoration of each of the small chapels is especially remarkable. Among the beautiful art work found in the church, it is worth highlighting the Chapel Cerasi, which houses two canvases by Caravaggio from 1600, and the Chapel Chigi, built and decorated by Raphael. If you look closely at the wooden benches, you’ll be able to see inscriptions with the names of the people the benches are dedicated to. This custom is also found in a lot of English speaking countries like Scotland or Edinburgh, where the families of the person deceased buy urban furniture in their honour. ******************************************** Located next to the northern gate of Rome on the elegant Piazza del Popolo, the 15th-century Santa Maria del Popolo is famed for its wealth of Renaissance art. Its walls and ceilings are decorated with paintings by some of the greatest artists ever to work in Rome: Pinturicchio, Raphael, Carracci, Caravaggio and Bernini.

Two Raphael Paintings Unearthed at the Vatican After 500 Years Published 14Th December 2017
AiA Art News-service Two Raphael paintings unearthed at the Vatican after 500 years Published 14th December 2017 Two Raphael paintings unearthed at the Vatican after 500 years Written byDelia Gallagher, CNN A 500-year-old mystery at the Vatican has just been solved. Two paintings by Renaissance master Raphael were discovered during the cleaning and restoration of a room inside the Vatican Museums. Experts believe they are his last works before an early death, around the age of 37, in 1520: "It's an amazing feeling," said the Vatican's chief restorer for the project, Fabio Piacentini. What makes Wallonia unique? "Knowing these were probably the last things he painted, you almost feel the real presence of the maestro." The two female figures, one depicting Justice and the other Friendship, were painted by Raphael around the year 1519, but he died before he could finish the rest of the room. After his death, other artists finished the wall and Raphael's two paintings were forgotten. The clues In 1508, Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint the his private apartments. The artist completed three rooms, known today as the "Raphael rooms," with famous frescoes like the School of Athens. He then began plans for the fourth room, the largest in the apartment, a banquet hall called the Hall of Constantine. His plan was to paint the room using oil, rather than the traditional fresco technique. An ancient book from 1550 by Giorgio Vasari, "Lives of the most excellent painters, sculptors and architects," attests that Raphael began work on two figures in a new experiment with oil.
