| Summary | "Raphael" by Paul G. Konody is a biographical work from the early 20th century that explores the life and artistic contributions of the renowned Renaissance painter, Raphael. This book is part of the "Masterpieces in Colour" series and delves into the themes of beauty, technique, and the historic significance of Raphael's art. The focus is on how his work synthesized classical antiquity with Christian themes, earning him a lasting legacy that resonates even today. In this thorough exposition, Konody outlines Raphael's development as an artist, tracing his early influences from his father and other masters, including Perugino and Michelangelo. The book details key works such as the "Madonna" series and significant commissions in the Vatican, highlighting Raphael's adeptness in composition, use of color, and ability to convey profound human emotions. Through biographical anecdotes, detailed art analyses, and discussions on his collaboration with contemporaries, the text paints a vivid portrait of Raphael's character: a charming, amiable man who navigated the complexities of artistic life to achieve enduring fame, culminating in his untimely death at the young age of 37.
