The «Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione» and the «Madonna dell’Impannata Northwick»

The first volume of the seriesRaphael and His Timestarts with a study of thePortrait of Baldassare Castiglionein its cultural contexts confronting it with thePortrait of Antonio Tebaldeo. The second contribution focuses on Raphael’sMadonna dell’Impannata, of which a new version has recently surfaced, and which is here presented as a workshop replica. Stress is laid on the technical analysis, which allows to identify the picture as a painting coming from the workshop of Raphael.
