An introduction to Raphael the artist | National Gallery

Hear Raphael's life story told by 'The Credit Suisse Exhibition: Raphael' curator Matthias Wivel.

This exhibition, one of the first ever to explore Raphael's complete career, looks at his celebrated paintings and drawings as well as his work in architecture, poetry, and design for sculpture, tapestry and prints.

Excellent descriptive dialogue accompanying the gorgeous display of Rafael’s masterpieces.

[@sisiogo]

Always a pleasure to listen to Matthias. And raffaello is the greatest ever

[@onitasanders7403]

I am so very glad that I decided to stop by. Your presentation deserves repeated viewings for its wealth of information and examples of this great artist.

[@a-complished4406]

I saw similar exhibition in Madrid EL Prado, summer 2010, it’s superb. The description in this video is equally superb and enticing. I wish I could see it too.

[@coscinaippogrifo]

Passionate, heartfelt commentary. Also, very good, effortless pronunciation of Italian names

[@bobd5119]

Thank you very much for this compact history of a great genius.

[@JavierGalindoJGCH]

Beautifully said.🙏

[@bobd5119]

I am intrigued by the pronunciation of Raphael as "Raphehl". The artist would be amused and delighted.

[@hamhi98]

Raphael is an incredibly fascinating person and is still relevant 500 years after his death

[@aetamat]

[@Figueiredoartconservation]

Stonishing Artist and beautiful documentary by this Gentleman, thank you so much for great information

[@carlabravi8623]

An extraordinary yet simple presentation. Thank you.

[@Siansonea]

For some reason I never put it together that Raphael was working on his frescoes in the papal apartments at the same time that Michelangelo was working on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. These two areas are very close to one another, I wonder if they ever shared assistants or anything like that. Did Mike and Rafe ever just 'hang out'?

[@Atelier-KaRo]

Somehow an exciting question.

[@sgt.pepper5794]

Yeah. They brought Leonardo and Donatello, too.

[@algernonwolfwhistle6351]

quality content

[@xuejuansu8502]

Liked, thank you. the volume of the sound is good.

[@luciavitale5903]

Saint Sebastian is absolutely perfect.

[@hd-xc2lz]

I disagree that his legacy endures to this day. To me he stands out as the only Old Master whose status has actually declined. His work is no longer discussed in the same regard it held as late as Walter Pater's era, and yet he was once mentioned in the same breath as DaVinci and Michelangelo, with his paintings possibly the most copied in French Academy training. How, when and why this decline in rep. occurred I have no idea, and hope the National Gallery show addresses it. That said, I'm so excited for this show, think of Raphael as a GoAT of composition, especially within individual figure groupings. When you look at the paintings in terms of passages (vs overall), each choice within a sequence (in terms of shape, value, hue, opacity vs transp., etc.) appears elegant and inspired. And such a light touch with edges, those painted contours are just insanely gorgeous.

[@GeryNH]

Was there on the opening day

[@luciavitale5903]

He was a real ninja turtle

[@njgrandma3519]

Let's hear more from this gentleman.

[@richardchaffer3461]

Hello, please can you say the name of the drawing at 1.05 mins into the video? Thank you.

[@club4ghz]

My name is Raphael and i was bullied because of it now i have all the rounds it takes to take out the enemy. Anyone hate Raphael ? Come and get it.

[@rafaelsuarez4709]

It so bothers me that he keeps calling him RAFFAL.
