Description
Rafael fue el artista más parecido al gran escultor Pheidias. Los griegos decían que este último no había inventado nada, pero fue capaz de llevar cada tipo de arte inventado por sus predecesores a tal cúspide, que logró alcanzar la armonía pura y perfecta. Estas palabras, "armonía pura y perfecta", expresan, de hecho, mejor que cualquier otra, lo que Rafael llevó al arte italiano. De Perugino tomó toda la delicada gracia y sutileza de la...

¿Por qué no las conocemos? Porque a lo largo de los siglos han estado escondidas en conventos en el Medievo o dedicándose a labores domésticas en el Renacimiento...

When he painted the portrait of his mother, Whistler entitled it Arrangement in Gray and Black,...
