Raphael and the Renaissance of Rome
The ascendancy of the City of Rome in the early sixteenth century
as the artistic and intellectual centre of Italy drew celebrated
painters and architects to the Papal court. It was here that the
youthful Raphael fulfilled his artistic potential.
This course will trace the supremacy of Rome over other Italian
City States, the revival of papal patronage, the work of Raphael
both as painter and architect and his place in the artistic life
of Rome.
