Description
Summary:
Following his move to Rome, Raphael soon cornered the market in Vatican commissions-but the frescoes and tapestries that display his gifts on a grand scale are not his only legacy. Portraits focusing on intimate relationships are among Raphael's finest creations. Inviting some of the world's leading art experts to scrutinize its Raphael collection, the Louvre allowed them to come into close contact with The Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione, the enigmatic Self-Portrait with a Friend, and a large work that has survived five centuries of trauma, Saint Michael Vanquishing Satan. This film accompanies Paul Joannides, professor of art history at the University of Cambridge, and Pierre Curie, director of the painting unit at the C2RMF restoration department, as they compare opinions and analysis during the Louvre's Raphael Study Days. Viewers will discover what happens when treasured images by the master from Urbino are brought down from the walls and removed from their protective enclosures. They can be seen, quite literally, in a new light.
