Raphaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, lived at the glorious peak of Renaissance painting, sharing the era of fellow masters da Vinci, Michelangelo and Titian. Working from the centres of the period’s vibrant art world, Florence and Rome, Raphael’s work and career need to be understood in the context of his time and place. During the lecture, we will consider the world in which he trained as a young artist, comparing the responses his fellow artists had to his distinctive way of working.
A later start time has been organised to facilitate off-peak transit. Please arrive from 10:45am. Coffee/tea will not be served before the lecture, to comply with the venue’s social distance policy, but will be offered during the break. We aim to finish at 1:00pm.
