Raphael, The Stanza
della Segnatura
Description: Raphael's frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura
in the Vatican Palace, painted between 1508 and 1512 under the
auspices of Pope Julius II, constitute one of the greatest cycles
of painting produced during the Italian Renaissance. The four
major frescoes, the Disputa, the School of Athens, Parnassus
and Jurisprudence, portray in striking visual form the range
of spiritual, intellectual and civic interests of the period.
This program guides students through the series of frescoes,
offering opportunities to study each fresco in detail, examine
the wide range of preparatory sketches surviving from the commission,
consider technical aspects of artistic production and examine
iconographic issues.
