Tomorrow, April 29, the exhibition “In the sign of Raphael” opens at the Royal Museums of Turin, which can be visited until July 17. The exhibition traces about 70 years of the history of Italian drawing, starting with Perugino – in whose workshop the young Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino received his first artistic training – passing through the Roman studio in which Raphael, at the height of his success, became a pole of attraction and a model of style for the artists of the mature Renaissance – Giulio Romano, Parmigianino, Peruzzi, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Bandinelli, Girolamo da Carpi – who will take different paths from Rome, spreading the master’s lesson throughout Italy Urbinate.
The exhibition is the result of an in-depth study, designed on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Raphael’s death, aimed at identifying within the nucleus of the Italian drawings of the ‘500 owned by the Royal Library, those attributable to the circle of Raphael .
