Summary: Sensuous And Stunning!
Review: When Pope Julius II needed someone to design and create the frescoes for his private appartment in The Vatican, he knew who to call: Raphael; and what staggering frescoes they are! The frescoes are part of the Stanza della Segnatura which contain the famous School of Athens, and The Triumph Of Religion. These 2 works are found on the largest walls. Also included are The Stanza dell'Incendio and The Stanza d'Eliodoro. What makes this book so sensuous and stunning are the beautiful color photographs that husband and wife team Maurice & Jacqueline Guillaud have taken. Full of spectacular close-ups, you immediately get the full force of Raphael's vivid pallette. One of the trademarks of the Guillaud's is to print all of their photographs on onionskin paper, which has the look of paint on fresh plaster. This is a great way to experience the works of this great artist.
