Description

Raphael's drawings are being showcased in a major exhibition project that promises to transform our understanding of his art. This comprehensive collection brings together the greatest holdings of Raphael's drawings from two leading institutions: the Ashmolean Museum and the Albertina. The exhibition is based on new research by Dr Catherine Whistler and Dr Ben Thomas, who explore how drawing was central to Raphael's creative process. The book accompanies this groundbreaking show, offering a unique insight into Raphael's use of drawing as both conceptual art and observational practice. Through his drawings, Raphael reveals the expressive figure of the orator in fascinating ways, demonstrating how gestural rhythms and spontaneity can be a form of thought. With over 250 pages of high-quality reproductions, this book provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage with Raphael's drawings up close.
