Although she had appeared in other classical Greek tales, the story of Galatea and Acis first appeared in Ovid's Metamorphoses. She falls in love with Acis, a beautiful mortal shepherd who is the son of Faunus, god of the forest and the river nymph Symaethis. Although her heart belongs to Acis, Galatea is also pursued by the Sicilian Cyclops Polyphemus. Polyphemus is enraged by the affair of Galatea and Acis, and strikes Acis with a stone, killing him instantly. Blood then spurts from the stone, and Galatea, distraught, turns Acis' blood into the Sicilian river Acis, where he is immortalized as a spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the fresco is inspired by the story of Acis and Galatea, Raphael has not chosen a scene depicting the hapless lovers together. Instead, he has portrayed Galatea as she achieves apotheosis, meaning that after her death she would ascend to join the fully divine beings, as a reward for her patience and endurance of the trials and tribulations experienced in her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left of the painting, a Triton, half man and half fish, abducts a sea nymph, while another plays a conch trumpet. The work is inspired by La Giostra (\"the carousel\"), a work by the poet Poliziano, who was tutor to the Medici, the ruling family of Florence, and one of the great pan-European intellectuals of the time. He had begun writing La Giostra in honor of Giuliano de 'Medici's victory in a tournament in 1475. He abandoned it three years later, following the conspiracy of the Pazzi family, which attempted to overthrow the Medici as rulers of Florence, during which Giuliano was stabbed to death during high mass in the city's Duomo. Poliziano saved the life of Giuliano's brother Lorenzo by locking him in the sacristy of the Cathedral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaphael's fresco was commissioned for the Villa Farnesina by Agostino Chigi, an enormously wealthy Sienese banker who was treasurer to Pope Julius II. He had the villa built in the Trastevere area of Rome by Baldassarre Peruzzi between 1506 and 1510. It was acquired in 1577 by the Farnese family, whose members included Pope Paul III and Elisabeth Farnese, who became Queen of Spain in the early 18th century. The building, whose main attraction is still the fresco by Raphael, is open to the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Triumph of Galatea is ranked no. 20 on the list of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kuadros.com\/collections\/pinturas-famosas\" title=\"Famous Paintings\"\u003efamous paintings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Rafael","offers":[{"title":"50x40","offer_id":44941905461529,"sku":"el-trimfo-115","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"75X60","offer_id":44941905494297,"sku":"el-trimfo-190","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100x80","offer_id":44941905527065,"sku":"el-trimfo-390","price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/9628\/3224\/files\/pintura-El-Triunfo-De-Galatea-KUADROS.jpg?v=1683858883"},{"product_id":"retrato-de-un-hombre-joven-raffaello-sanzio","title":"Portrait Of A Young Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kuadros.com\/collections\/100-pinturas-famosas\" title=\"Famous paintings\"\u003efamous painting\u003c\/a\u003e is often thought to be a self-portrait of the Renaissance master \u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Raphael the Painter\" href=\"https:\/\/kuadros.com\/collections\/vendors?q=R%C3%A9plicas%20de%20Rafael\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/kuadros.com\/collections\/vendors?q=R%C3%A9plicas%20de%20Rafael\"\u003eRaphael\u003c\/a\u003e .

The portrait under discussion is not Umbrian or Florentine, the traditions in which Raphael was trained. It has a range of qualities typical of paintings from the 1520s and later, precursors to Mannerist portraiture (analogies in the portraits of Sebastiano del Piombo, Moretto da Brescia, Lorenzo Lotto, Salviati or Pontormo and Parmigianino).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The \"Portrait of a Young Man\" aroused interest in the years after Raphael's death, and there are several known copies.

The front and rear gates of this temple are open, and through them the viewer can see a bit of the hazy, sfumato-painted background of the hills and sky. The temple sits on a cascade of steps leading to a plaza with walkways cut into a brownstone. People dressed in Renaissance garb gather in small groups, seemingly oblivious to the momentous marriage taking place in the foreground.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCritics believe the painting is inspired by two compositions by Perugino: the famous Christ Handing the Keys to Saint Peter from the fresco cycle in the Sistine Chapel and a panel containing the Marriage of the Virgin now in the Museum of Caën.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Raphael painted the Marriage of the Virgin taking into account the altarpiece with the same theme by Perugino, which is preserved in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Caen.

These lines define the perspective system of the image, fully following the recommendations contained in De prospective pingendi (On the Perspective of Painting) by Piero della Francesca. Thanks to this artifice, the temple becomes the visual center of the composition.

Two angels balance on delicate slivers of cloud on either side, collecting the blood that flows from their wounds in golden chalices reminiscent of those in which wine was served during mass on the altar below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The sun and moon are visible in the sky, marking the eclipse that coincided with the death of Christ. Saint Jerome and Mary Magdalene are at the foot of the Cross, looking at the body of Christ with reverence and piety. The Virgin, dressed in purplish black to denote mourning, stands to the left of the Cross with John the Evangelist to the right. They both look towards the viewer and wring their hands in pain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArt can make something terrible look beautiful. This ability can also be seen in Crucifixion Mond. The painting has minimized the pain and suffering that Christ endured on the cross. Jesus is immaculate and peaceful, except for his wounds on his feet, hands, and side. Raphael highlights the perfection of Christ in order to remain faithful to the painting style of the High Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In the work, the atmospheric perspective plus the landscape exhibit the style of Perugini that Raphael followed. Instead of focusing on the painful and gruesome nature of Christ's death, it strengthens the doctrine of transubstantiation, serving as a symbolic blood representation for the Eucharist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Crucifixion Mond was viewed at the London-based art museum, The National Gallery. There the typical pigments of the Renaissance period were identified.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRaphael painted his work, among other pigments, with ocher, vermilion, verdigris, lead-tin yellow and natural ultramarine. The color red has a strong meaning. Each figure in the painting has a touch of red. All the figures are pictorially touched and are redeemed by the blood of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Other colors also connect the elements of the painting in turn. There are colors in the image that have been repeated in its lower half. For example, the blue color of heaven has been picked up in the clothes worn by Saint Jerome and the green color in the clothes worn by one of the two angels is also in the clothes of Saint John.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSaint Jerome was not present at the Crucifixion but is included in this scene because the chapel was dedicated to him. He gestures towards the Cross and holds the stone with which he struck his chest while living as a hermit in the desert. Miracles that occurred after Christ's death were painted in scenes from the predella (the lower painted panel shown below the main panel of the altarpiece). Two predella panels survive in the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, and the National Museum of Ancient Art, Lisbon. At first, there was probably at least one additional panel. Gavari himself may have chosen to dedicate the altar to St. Jerome, since he also named his eldest son Girolamo (Jerome in Italian).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe altarpiece is heavily influenced by Perugino, the leading artist in central Italy at the time, with whom Raphael developed a close artistic relationship while living in Perugia. The overall design is based on various versions of the crucified Christ in a landscape painted by Perugino in the late 1480s and 1490s, and is especially similar to his Crucifixion altarpiece for the convent of S. Francesco al Monte in Perugia, commissioned in 1502 and completed 1506.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn that painting angels with fluttering ribbons hold chalices to collect blood from Christ's wounds, the Virgin and the Evangelist are nearly identical to Raphael's, and Mary Magdalene is in the same upside-down pose on the other side of the Cross. Raphael may have seen Perugino's works in his Perugia workshop before they were revealed. In addition to adopting the sweet, small-featured oval faces and stylized hand gestures of Perugino's figures, Raphael borrowed the principles of symmetry, harmony, and clarity of composition from Perugino's works. However, Rafael adapted them, giving them greater softness and sophistication. Here, however, it is not entirely clear who copied whose work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Raphael's early works he used to base his compositions on a simple geometric grid, incising the panel to help him transfer his drawing, as we can see in the Ansidei Madonna. No grid is visible in Mond's Crucifixion, although the image's strong symmetry and geometric structure suggest that Raphael may have used a similar method initially to expose his composition. He used a ruler and compass to make an incision around the Crucifix, and a compass to make an incision around the sun and moon. The way he left blank spaces for figures and made no revisions or changes while painting suggests that he was working from a carefully prepared design into a detailed drawing. During this period, Raphael frequently used dark shaded brushstrokes to reinforce areas of shadow, a technique derived from Perugino, particularly noticeable here on the draperies. Raphael also used his hands and fingers to dry and pattern the wet surface paint. Their fingerprints and palm prints are visible in the shadows of the heads, especially in Christ's hair, face and beard.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRaphael scratched the brown paint at the foot of the Cross down to a layer of silver leaf below to sign the painting: RAFAEL \/ VRBIN \/ AS \/.P.[INXIT] (\"Rafael de Urbino painted this\").
