Raphael

The Transfiguration

US$ 600.00

The upper half floats: Christ rising in white light above Mount Tabor. The lower half is chaos — a boy in the grip of a seizure, the apostles gesturing helplessly, everyone pointing in different directions. Raphael sets calm and panic in the same frame and lets the gap between them do the work. Over four metres tall in the original.

Artist

Raphael (1483-1520) died at thirty-seven with this canvas unfinished in his studio, and it was carried at the head of his funeral procession. It was his final work and his most restless — the serene balance of his Vatican frescoes giving way to something darker and more theatrical, closer to what Michelangelo was doing and to what Mannerism would become.
