Description: Zwolle: W Books, 2012. 28cm., pbk., 255pp., prof. illus., most in color. Exhibition held at Teylers Museum, Haarlem. Summary: In collaboration with Vienna's Albertina Museum, Teylers Museum is proud to present the Netherlands' first exhibition on Raphael (1483- 1520). With Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael was one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance: his Madonnas and Vatican frescos are world famous, and his refined style has been admired and emulated down the centuries. More than 90 drawings by the master and his school are on display in Haarlem for more than three months. Due to their fragility, the drawings are rarely exhibited. The inclusion of two paintings from the Uffizi in Florence and the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin is particularly notable. They show us what Raphael's drawings led to. Raphael's paintings have never before been exhibited in the Netherlands. Together, these artworks give an excellent overview of his glittering career. With works dating back to the 16th century, Teylers Museum's celebrated collection of drawings contains several absolute masterpieces. In 1791 the museum acquired works by masters such as Raphael and Michelangelo, many of which had come from the collection of Queen Christina of Sweden. It was previously assumed that the Teylers collection contained nine drawings by Raphael. But extensive research during the preparation of this exhibition showed that there are actually twelve: mistakenly, three had been attributed to his students. With only two other Raphael drawings in the Netherlands, Teylers Museum is the obvious venue for an exhibition of the master's work.
