Raphael - Taschen book

In just two decades of work, Raphael Santi paved the way to legendary greatness. This essential introduction to the artist, whom we simply know as Raphael, showcases mastery of figures, forms, and space that secured him a place not only alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo in the trio of Renaissance masters but also among the most revered artists of all time.
