Description: "In this lavishly illustrated book featuring some 300 illustrations mostly in color, all of Raphael's most important paintings are reproduced, as well as a significant number of his drawings and engravings. The accompanying text by art historian Pierluigi De Vecchi provides a fresh, critical look at the life and work of an artist who was "touched by grace," according to Vasari, and who is still today considered one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance."--BOOK JACKET.
