Michelangelo and Raphael in the Vatican: With… by Antonio P. Graziano

This is a beautifully photographed catalogue of the art to be seen at the Vatican museum in Rome, particularly the paintings of Michelangelo and Raphael. It includes the Sistine Chapel paintings (by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Perugino, Signorelli, Ghirlandaio and Rosselli), the Stanzas by Raphael in the papal apartments, and other Raphael paintings in the Vatican Picture Gallery, and the Raphael Loggias. The beautiful photographic reproductions by Bruno del Priore include many foldout pages showing large murals and ceilings, with diagrams to help identify each character in the painting. There are beautiful closeup details of some of the most important scenes. Lengthy essays by Antonio Graziano and Dr. Francisco Rossi explain the history and significance of the paintings, and help to understand some of the more obscure allegories and references. This is a fine souvenir for tourists, and a good reference for students of art history.… (more)
