| Summary | "Raffael" by H. Knackfuß is an artistic biography written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the life and artistic achievements of Raffael Sanzio, one of the most celebrated masters of the Italian Renaissance, highlighting his profound influence on art and culture during his time. This detailed monograph presents Raffael's journey from his early life in Urbino to his rise in the vibrant artistic environment of Florence and beyond, exploring the characteristics of his renowned paintings and drawing. The opening of the book introduces Raffael's humble beginnings in Urbino, where he was born on Good Friday in 1483. H. Knackfuß discusses Raffael's early education under his father, Giovanni Santi, a painter himself, and later under the famed Perugino. The text paints a picture of Raffael's development as a young artist, marked by an innate talent and an environment rich in art and culture. Emphasis is placed on the influence of contemporary artists and the artistic climate in Urbino, setting the stage for Raffael's later masterworks. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
