Emile -Jean-Horace Vernet, 1789-1863. "Raphael at the Vatican" (Composition Sketch) Oil on Canvas. Nostalgia for the great artistic epochs of the past was a notable aspect of nineteenth-century historicism. One such moment was the papacy of Julius II in Rome in the early years of the sixteenth century when Michelangelo, Raphael and the architect Bramante were all working at the Vatican. In early 1509 Raphael had begun painting the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, and Michelangelo had begun the Sistine ceiling. The Pope had also commissioned a major new plan for St. Peter's from Bramante. These concurrent projects epitomizing the High Renaissance are all alluded to in Vernet's composition. |
