The Afterlife Of Raphaels Paintings

the long version

"Raphael is one of the rare artists who have never gone out of fashion. Acclaimed during his lifetime, he was imitated by contemporaries and served as a model for paintings through the 19th century. Because of the artist's renown, his works have continuously been subject to care, conservation, and restoration. In this book, Catherine Hoeniger focuses on the legacy of Raphael's art ... This book reveals the 500-year story of many of Raphael's best-known paintings."--Book jacket flap.
