Overview

Painted between 1508 and 1524, Raphael's Vatican Stanze are counted among the greatest masterpieces in Western art. The quincentennial of the artist's death brings with it a new opportunity to reappraise these canonical works. In celebration of this occasion, this volume offers new interpretations of these famous Vatican spaces, addressing questions of meaning and invention, artistic process and design, patronage and ritual, and workshop collaborations. With all rooms and details published in color, including ceilings and basamenti, it constitutes an essential resource for further study of these important Renaissance artworks. Contributors include: Kim Butler Wingfield, Tracy Cosgriff, Paul Gwynne, Marcia Hall, Tom Henry, Christian Kleinbub, Elizabeth McCahill, Nelson Minnich, John O'Malley, Lisa Pon, Patricia Reilly, Sheryl Reiss, Ingrid Rowland, Maria Ruvoldt, and Linda Wolk-Simon.
