AH 404 – RAPHAEL AND THE HIGH RENAISSANCE IN FLORENCE AND ROME

It will consider the sources and documents for his career, as well as the later historiography, and it will include study of the many works by Raphael in Rome and in the Vatican Museums. An extensive literature discusses Raphael’s work, and an exceptionally rich and thorough discussion of the artist’s works is therefore possible.

The course will look at both historical and contemporary writings on the artist. Raphael’s collaboration with other artists, his workshop organization and his impact on a generation of followers will also be examined.

Pre-requisites: A lower-level Art History course or permission of the instructor.
