Ashmolean Director’s Guest Lecture Series
Late Raphael
With Professor Paul Joannides
Saturday 18 January 2014
11am–12pm
Headley Lecture Theatre
Emeritus Professor of Art History at Cambridge University, Professor Paul Joannides speaks on the crucial but hitherto neglected part of Raphael’s oeuvre: the work he and his pupils executed in Rome during the seven years from 1513 to the artist’s death in 1520. Works such as Saint Cecile and Portrait of Baldassere Castiglione, as well as many significant drawings illustrate the ways in which Raphael employed an astonishing range of technical devices, many of which were highly novel and enjoyed considerable subsequent influence: Raphael’s workshop methods eventually became a model for the great artistic enterprises of the seventeenth century.
The Ashmolean Director’s Lectures brings you a line-up of speakers who are leading experts in art, history and cultural studies.
