Raphael

Raphael stands among the defining masters of the Italian High Renaissance, celebrated for harmonious composition and idealized figures rendered in tempera and oil. The single work held here, a portrait of Giuliano de' Medici, Duke of Nemours, places the collection within the early sixteenth century and its courtly portraiture. Painted in tempera and oil on canvas, it reflects the period's shift toward oil-based portrait painting. The archive's holdings from this artist remain modest, consisting of this one canvas.
