The Universal Work
The many pages of big size are authentic narrative and aesthetic "compositions" of texts and images, and clarify an unusual concept, i.e. that of the universal language of the Master from Urbino.
The exciting look at the complexity of the “divine” painter and at his artistic heritage - from universality to current events - include a re-reading and a historical-critical reinterpretation of his entire pictorial works, of his main drawings, his studies and his documents, including sculpture, architecture and applied arts.
This volume is the highest and most complete reference point to fully understand the beauty of the work of this great artist.

The Most Complete Volume
Raffaello Universale illustrates the role of customers, masters, friends, and collaborators of the great master from Urbino through monographic inserts and spectacular big size images. The volume is about the extraordinary discoveries of unedited works, and it proposes the analysis of many almost unknown discoveries using a repertoire of scientific examinations by successful results. It starts from the phenomenon of the Raphael’s myth and his influence over the centuries up to arrive to the more recent artistic avant-gardes.
The text intertwines to the visual story that proceeds by typology, according the variation of the dynamic compositions of the Madonnas, of the psychology of portraits, of the theatricality of sacred and mythological scenes, of the atmosphere of animated landscapes, of the expressive looks and gestures until the flowers and emblematic jewels, and of the presence of animals and symbolic decorations.
