- The course intends to put under observation a problem that is still (and above all) today the center of attention of the studies. The meaning of the didactic proposal is to show how an intricate critical debate involving, in addition to Raphael, some of the main protagonists of Renaissance painting such as Pietro Perugino, Bernardino Pintoricchio and Luca Signorelli can be approached in a correct method.
- Prerequisites
- A good basic knowledge of Italian Renaissance painting.
- Teaching methods
- Ex cathedra lectures and lectures in front of works of art
- Other information
- At the end of the course, students will be given a power point containing the images shown during the lessons.
- Learning verification modality
- Oral exam
- Extended program
- On the occasion of the fifth centenary of Raphael's death, a course focusing on the contribution offered by Umbria to Raphael's artistic training appears highly appropriate. Also because there will be the opportunity to visit more than one exhibition dedicated to the great painter of Urbino and to verify directly what theoretically learned ex cathedra. During the course, a guided tour of the Collegio del Cambio will be organized and the hypothesis, introduced in the historiographical debate since the mid-seventeenth century, of Raphael's participation in that very important wall decoration will be analyzed. A second inspection will be dedicated to visiting the fresco of San Severo, a masterpiece by Raphael painted in 1505, left unfinished and completed by Perugino after the death of the artist from Urbino.
