Kanon krasoty po Rafaeliu: epokha rafaelia i russkaia khudozhestvennaia shkola (Raphael’s Aesthetic Canon: the Age of Raphael and the Russian Artistic School)

St. Petersburg: Slavia, 2008. sewn pb. Using the collection of the Russian Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, the curators of the Academy’s exhibition show how enduring were the forms of beauty that Raphael’s work established. Through paintings, architectural drawings, engravings, and sculpture by Russian and Western European artists we see that not only were Raphael’s works used as specific models for copying in the education of artists, but his achievements and those of the high Renaissance were the standard for original works well into the nineteenth century. 127 p., 8 1/2 x 11 5/8 ins., 29 b-&-w illus., 67 color, Rus.
