Castiglione and Raffaello chapter 6 “Love is Naught But a Certain Desire to Enjoy Beauty”: Castiglione and Raffaello Pasquale Sabbatino 1 Raffaello’s The Triumph of Galatea* At the beginning of the sixteenth century, a new trend developed within the field of art history: The Triumph of Galatea (1511–12), a fresco by Raffaello Sanzio,1 aroused general interest and marked the start of a successful period for the mythological tradition. In his first edition of Vite2 (1550), Vasari does not mention the Galatea when he presents Raffaello’s biography, although he lists the other works that were executed in Agostino Chigi’s Villa in Lungara (which was purchased in 1576 by cardinal Alessandro Farnese and renamed Villa Farnesina).3 He does however acknowledge the Galatea in the biography of the Sienese Baldassarre Peruzzi, the architect responsible for the U-shape of Villa Farnesina, which was conceived to make the exterior appear like a theatre stage. Peruzzi was also the painter of the illusionistic decorations in the Sala delle Colonne or Sala delle Prospettive (1518–9), with fake colonnades and landscapes:4 Even greater was the fame that came to him from the model of the Palace of Agostino Chigi, executed with such beautiful grace that it seems not to * This essay elaborates on the findings previously presented to an Italian audience in Sabbatino, Pasquale. 2004. “Il Trionfo della Galatea di Raffaello e Il libro del Cortegiano di Castiglione. Il dibattito sull’imitazione nel primo Cinquecento.” Studi rinascimentali 2: 23– 48. The translation was carried out by Mirella De Sisto and George Metcalf. 1 Cf. Thoenes 1977, 220–72; Id. 1986, 59–72; Chastel 1986, 3–10. 2 Le vite de piu eccellenti architetti, pittori, et scultori italiani, da Cimabue insino a’ tempi nostri (Firenze, [Torrentino]), “Lives of the Most Eminent Architects, Painters, and Sculptors, from Cimabue to Our Times”. All translations are mine, except where indicated otherwise. 3 In his autobiography (begun in 1558 and finished in 1567), Benvenuto Cellini also mentioned the works by Raffaello in Chigi’s Villa, which became an actual school of painting. Cf. Cellini 1985, 120: “During that time I used to go to draw, sometimes in Michelagniolo’s chapel, and sometimes in the house of Agostino Chigi of Siena, which contained many incomparable paintings by the hand of the extremely talented Raffaello from Urbino.” (Addington Symonds 2001, XIX). 4 Cf. De Fusco 1981, 93–5, 166; Frommel 2003. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2019 | doi:10.1163/9789004388956_008 “Love is Naught but a Certain Desire to Enjoy Beauty” 115 have been built, but rather to have sprung into life; and with his own hand he decorated the exterior with most beautiful scenes in terretta. The hall, likewise, is adorned with rows of columns executed in perspective, which, with the depth of the intercolumniation, cause it to appear much larger. But what is the greatest marvel of all is a loggia that may be seen over the garden, painted by Baldassarre with scenes of the Medusa turning men into stone, such that nothing more beautiful can be imagined; and then there is Perseus cutting off her head, with many other scenes in the spandrels of that vaulting, while the ornamentation, drawn in perspective with colours, in imitation of stucco, is so natural and lifelike, that even to excellent craftsmen it appears to be in relief. And I remember that when I took the Chevalier Tiziano, a most excellent and honoured painter, to see that work, he would by no means believe that it was painted, until he had changed his point of view, when he was struck with amazement. In that place are some works executed by Fra Sebastiano Viniziano, in his first manner; and by the hand of the divine Raffaello, as has been related, there is a Galatea being carried off by sea-gods. Vasari, Lives. In de Vere 1912–14, 65–65 In the biography of Sebastiano del Piombo, painter of the majestic Polyphemus (Roma, Villa Farnesina, loggia of Galatea), Vasari gives chronological precedence to The Triumph of Galatea.6 The two frescos are based on the same sources, represent the same mythological anecdote and, consequently, complement each other: After this work, Raffaello having executed a story of Galatea in the same place, Sebastiano, at the desire of Agostino, painted beside it a Polyphemus in fresco, in which, spurred by rivalry with Baldassarre of 5 Cf. Vasari 1986, 685. 6 Regarding the still unresolved issue of the chronology of the two frescos, cf. Thoenes 1986, 62–3: “In the literature on the subject, opinions are more frequent than proper arguments. It is usually assumed that the Polyphemus preceded the Galatea. This seems the most logical solution: the story, as told by Poliziano, goes from left to right, starting in the first bay of the wall with the work by Sebastiano […].who is then followed by Raffaello. […] As to the Galatea, there is indeed a claim of it being a previous work: it is Vasari’s claim […]. Hirst furthermore, on a stylistic basis, dates the Polyphemus to “no earlier than the first few months of 1512”, which would be somewhat later than I would estimate the Galatea to have been executed. But none of this is conclusive, and it remains more plausible that Raffaello altered Sebastiano’s conception, either as his successor or even – according to Philipp Fehl – as his competitor, who was active in more or less the same period […]..

  • RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile
    RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile «... non fu superato in nulla, e sembra radunare in sé tutte le buone qualità degli antichi». Così si esprime, a proposito di Raffaello Sanzio, G.P. Bellori – tra i più convinti ammiratori dell’artista nel ’600 –, un giudizio indicativo dell’incontrastata preminenza ormai riconosciuta al classicismo raffaellesco. Nato a Urbino (1483) da Giovanni Santi, Raffaello entra nella bottega di Pietro Perugino in anni imprecisati. L’intera produzione d’esordio è all’insegna di quell’incontro: basti osservare i frammenti della Pala di San Nicola da Tolentino (Città di Castello, 1500) o dell’Incoronazione di Maria (Città del Vaticano, Pinacoteca Vaticana, 1503). Due cartoni accreditano, ad avvio del ’500, il coinvolgimento nella decorazione della Libreria Piccolomini (Duomo di Siena). Lo Sposalizio della Vergine (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera, 1504), per San Francesco a Città di Castello (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera), segna un decisivo passo di avanzamento verso la definizione dello stile maturo del Sanzio. Il soggiorno a Firenze (1504-08) innesca un’accelerazione a tale processo, favorita dalla conoscenza dei tra- guardi di Leonardo e Michelangelo: lo attestano la serie di Madonne con il Bambino, i ritratti e le pale d’altare. Rimonta al 1508 il trasferimento a Roma, dove Raffaello è ingaggiato da Giulio II per adornarne l’appartamento nei Palazzi Vaticani. Nella prima Stanza (Segnatura) l’urbinate opera in autonomia, mentre nella seconda (Eliodoro) e, ancor più, nella terza (Incendio di Borgo) è affiancato da collaboratori, assoluti responsabili dell’ultima (Costantino). Il linguaggio raffaellesco, inglobando ora sollecitazioni da Michelangelo e dal mondo veneto, assume accenti rilevantissimi, grazie anche allo studio dell’arte antica.

  • Renaissance History Through His Humanist Accomplishments
    3-79 A / /vO.7Y HUMANISM AND THE ARTIST RAPHAEL: A VIEW OF RENAISSANCE HISTORY THROUGH HIS HUMANIST ACCOMPLISHMENTS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science By Douglas W. Miller, B.A., M.S. Denton, Texas August, 1991 Miller, Douglas W., Humanism and the Artist Raphael: A View of Renaissance History Through His Humanist Accomplishments. Master of Science (History), August, 1991, 217 pp., 56 illustrations, bibliography, 43 titles. This thesis advances the name of Raphael Santi, the High Renaissance artist, to be included among the famous and highly esteemed Humanists of the Renaissance period. While the artistic creativity of the Renaissance is widely recognized, the creators have traditionally been viewed as mere craftsmen. In the case of Raphael Santi, his skills as a painter have proven to be a timeless medium for the immortalizing of the elevated thinking and turbulent challenges of the time period. His interests outside of painting, including archaeology and architecture, also offer strong testimony of his Humanist background and pursuits. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to gratefully acknowledge the kind and loving support (and patience) that I have received from my wife and my entire family. Thank you for everything, and I dedicate this thesis to all of you, but especially to the person that most embodies all those humanist qualities this thesis attempts to celebrate and honor. That person is my father. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.. ... .. v INTRODUCTION................. CHAPTER I. HUMANISM: THE ESSENCE OF THE RENAISSANCE.

Moreover, the world-famous drawings of this prematurely deceased master (1483–1520) make him one of art history’s great draftsmen. The Albertina Museum is now paying tribute to Raphael with a major exhibition of 150 paintings and drawings. Starting from the Albertina Museum’s own significant holdings and rounded out by the most beautiful and important drawings from prominent museums such as the Uffizi, the Royal Collection of the British Royal Family, the British Museum, the Louvre, the Vatican Museums, and the Ashmolean Museum, this monographic presentation places Raphael’s thinking and conceptual process front and center: featured works range from initial spontaneous artist’s impressions to virtuosic detail studies, compositional studies, and the completed paintings themselves.

HAVING translated Grimm's 'Life of Michael Angelo,' I was desirous of finding some memoir of his great contemporary Eaphael, which might complete the picture we already possess of a period so rich in the history of Art. It was not easy to meet with a work which was not too diffuse in its art-criticisms for the ordinary reader, and until Wolzogen's 'Life of Eaphael' appeared, there was no concise biography of the great painter which seemed to me to supply the information required. It is for this reason that I have translated the work; and I trust it will not be without interest to those who have hitherto known Eaphael in his art alone. F. E. BUNNETT. PREFACE. EAPHAEL-LITERATURE already fills a library of its own. Extensive works, such as Passavant's ' Eafael von Urbino und sein Vater Giovanni Santi' (three volumes, with maps, Leipsic, 1839-58), are among its treasures; but there is ever lacking a concise summary of all the more important investigations and decisions hitherto arrived at with regard to the great master's life and works. The best and most spirited of these are for the most part, moreover, in various papers and pamphlets, in which Eaphael is not the sole subject.

Raphael is best known for his Madonnas (see photograph) and for his large figure compositions in the Vatican in Rome. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Early years at Urbino. Raphael was the son of Giovanni Santi and Magia di Battista Ciarla; his mother died in 1491. His father was, according to the 16th-century artist and biographer Giorgio Vasari, a painter “of no great merit.” He was, however, a man of culture who was in constant contact with the advanced artistic ideas current at the court of Urbino. He gave his son his first instruction in painting, and, before his death in 1494, when Raphael was 11, he had introduced the boy to humanistic philosophy at the court. Urbino had become a centre of culture during the rule of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, who encouraged the arts and attracted the visits of men of outstanding talent, including Donato Bramante, Piero della Francesca, and Leon Battista Alberti, to his court. Although Raphael would be influenced by major artists in Florence and Rome, Urbino constituted the basis for all his subsequent learning. Furthermore, the cultural vitality of the city probably stimulated the exceptional precociousness of the young artist, who, even at the beginning of the 16th century, when he was scarcely 17 years old, already displayed an extraordinary talent.
