The Complete Work of Raphael: An Artabras Book

The Complete Work of Raphael is a substantial large-format Artabras coffee table edition published by Reynal & Company in association with William Morrow. Edited by Mario Salmi, this impressive volume brings together the work of eight Italian scholars who examine Raphael’s life, artistic development, paintings, drawings, architectural projects, poetry, and fascination with the history and culture of ancient Rome.

Copyright 1969 and printed in Japan, this beautifully produced art reference contains approximately 650 pages, 49 colour plates, and more than 875 black-and-white illustrations. Its oversized format makes it ideal for studying Raphael’s graceful compositions, religious works, portraits, sketches, and Renaissance design in rich visual detail.

A strong choice for art lovers, Renaissance readers, students, collectors, and anyone building a serious art history or coffee table book collection.
