Raphael (Basic Art)

Great book for beginners, have useful information and amazing quality paintings without overwhelming you.

Very good book

I love that book of Raphal's art as champion in Europe , everyone should buy this . Awsome!!!!!!!!!! I love to order many Vatican books from Amazon is my favorite. Enough Rhetoric😀 I am Vaticanolgist. Happy Thanksgiving to Amazon group Robert

This book is really nice and would make a great gift for any art lover. This book gives information here and there about Raphael. It is packed full of much of his artwork too. Wonderful book all around.

It certainly took a long time getting here & a specific work by Raphael I hoped would be in the book in fact isn't. Though there are many similar types of works in this book. Is the answer to the above question in fact got something to do with the properties of water in the various forms & states water can be in. Also the paintings look highly manipulated in terms of their pigment concentrations. It is a book for future reference & the reason I don't love it is I find it hard to love books. This in now way prevents me from liking a book or books. With some time spent reading the written parts of the book I am sure I will be furthered inspired to attempt painting of human figures though I doubt with such intimacy as done by Raphael.

Great series of artist books offering a general overview of each artist and their work.

great art

Excellent in that it gave a biography plus his works.
