Description
Raphael's visionary paintings have long fascinated art lovers, but their full significance has never been fully explored. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Raphael's engagement with supernatural phenomena in his work, placing them within the broader context of Renaissance artistic and religious thought. During the Renaissance, artists were torn between two competing demands: to represent the physical world through the senses, and to inspire contemplation of the divine through images that could be seen as more than just representations. For Raphael and his contemporaries, this tension presented a significant challenge, one that he navigated in complex and innovative ways. By examining Raphael's use of visionary imagery, this book sheds new light on the artist's place within the Renaissance artistic and religious landscape.
