Raphael in Rome: Stuart Hervey
About
Stuart has lived and worked in Rome since 2003. His talk is an in-depth look at the works of Raphael Sanzio, whom Vasari described as ‘The Prince of Painters’. Born in Urbino, he moved to Rome in 1508 and worked there for the last 12 years of his life, until his untimely death in 1520 at the young age of 37. His prolific output left a legacy that influenced artists for centuries. In this lecture we will take a chronological look at Raphael’s works that are easy to visit in Rome today, as well as learning about his powerful patrons, including two Popes, various Cardinals and wealthy bankers. Raphael’s love life cannot be ignored, and finally we will arrive at his monumental tomb in the Pantheon.Date
