Raphael – The Lord of the Arts is the first film adaptation of the life and work of one of the most famous artists in the world, Raphael Sanzio.
Few figures in the history of art have lived a life so full of intensity and fascination. Raphael died young, aged 37, and yet managed to leave an indelible mark on the artistic world. In a well-balanced dialogue between historical reconstruction and expert commentary, the film retraces the most significant moments of Raphael’s life.
Set in 20 locations, two of which are major exclusives as they are private rooms not open to the public – the Vatican Logge and Cardinal Bibbiena’s apartment in the Apostolic Palace – the film explores more than 70 works of art, featuring 30 of the most famous and representative of Raphael’s work, including The Marriage of the Virgin, Madonna del Cardellino, The School of Athens and the Sistine Madonna.
Filmed in Ultra HD using the latest cinematic technology, the artworks are revealed in stunning detail on the big screen, accompanied by expert commentary and insights.
