“Was he able to paint the world’s most beautiful Madonnas because he knew how to paint the world’s most sensual women, or is it the other way round? Raffaello. A charmed life, or: how to write a biography.” Antonio D’Orrico, “Corriere della Sera Magazine” In the past century a legend has sprung up regarding the artist’s reputed torment and desperation: Raffaello thoroughly demolishes all traces of this romantic myth and demonstrates, on the contrary, how his very full happiness and the gratification of his impulses enabled him to scale the highest peaks of creativity.
