Rome Tribute to Raphael: Celebrating 500-year anniversary

Over 200 works to celebrate Raffaelo Sanzio, 500 years after the death of this supreme Renaissance artist, a Rome tribute to Raphael is presented in a large exhibition at the Quirinale Stables in Rome, Italy, from March 5 to June 2, 2020.

Raphael died in Rome, and it is to Rome that he owes his universal fame.

At the Stables, for the first time, more than 100 autographed masterpieces, or in any case attributable to Raphaelesque ideas among paintings, cartoons, drawings, tapestries, and architectural projects, have been brought together.

This exhibition is an unrepeatable opportunity to see the most famous and beloved works from all over the world gathered in the same place such as: The Madonna del Granduca and the Veiled of the Uffizi Galleries or the large altarpiece of Santa Cecilia from the Pinacoteca in Bologna – works never returned to Italy since their export for collecting reasons.

This maxi exhibition of Raphael’s creations never seen in the world in such large numbers all together was inaugurated on March 3 in the presence of the highest state offices and official representatives of the main lending countries.
