Raphael

This autumn, the Albertina will pay homage to Raphael with a major exhibition of some 170 paintings and drawings representative of nearly all of the artist's important projects.

Developed in cooperation with the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, Raphael will offer a fresh look at the Renaissance master’s thought and composition method, based on an exploration of his entire career: from the early Umbrian period (up to 1504) to the years in Florence (1504/1505–1508) and finally to his time in Rome (1508/1509–1520).

Raphael is based on the Albertina’s own significant holdings by the artist, accompanied by exceptional loans of famous works from prominent institutions such as Florence’s Uffizi Gallery, London’s Royal Collection and National Gallery, Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Vatican Museums.
