Raphaels Poetics Art And Poetry In High Renaissance Rome

Raphael's Poetics" makes the connection between the world famous and the unknown: it reconstructs the visual grammar that underlies the famous works of Raphael and which derives from the classical and contemporary Latin poetry that was so omnipresent in his surroundings but is now largely forgotten. By focusing on principles that from the basis of poetry Rijser explains the context in which Raphael's works were functioning, and arrives at an interpretation that they may have had for their intended audience. Highly innovative, thanks to the emphasis on a literary standpoint while looking at visual objects, Rijsers research results in a truly interdisciplinary methodology.
