{"product_id":"raphael-portrait-of-baldassarre-castiglione-fine-art-print","title":"Raphael — Portrait of Baldassarre Castiglione | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bearded man sits at an angle, his blue-grey eyes meeting the viewer's. A broad black beret covers his head, and a heavy grey fur-lined mantle lies over a dark doublet, with a white shirt billowing at his chest. His hands are folded at the lower edge. The ground is a plain, warm grey-brown, and the weave of the canvas shows through the thin paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaphael painted his friend Baldassare Castiglione, the writer and diplomat, in Rome around 1514-15; it is one of only two Raphael paintings on canvas. Louis XIV acquired it from Cardinal Mazarin's heirs in 1665, and it is now in the Louvre. Rembrandt drew on its pose for his own self-portraits, and Ingres on it for his portrait of Monsieur Bertin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on canvas, c. 1514-15; Musée du Louvre, Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaphael (1483–1520) was, with Leonardo and Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the Italian High Renaissance. Trained in Urbino and Perugia under Perugino, he absorbed Florentine drawing in his early twenties and from 1508 worked in Rome for Julius II and Leo X, painting the Vatican Stanze and, in the School of Athens, the clearest statement the Renaissance made about its own ambitions. His portraits are direct and unhurried, his Madonnas the model that European painting copied for three centuries. His work is held by the Vatican Museums, the Uffizi, the National Gallery, London and the Prado.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
