SUMMARY:Raphael: Sublime Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the artistic process of one of history’s most beloved and influential artists. A true titan of the Italian Renaissance\, Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth\, a necessary skill in the complex political landscape of Renaissance courts. In his short life of only 37 years\, he achieved such profound success as a painter\, designer\, and architect that he was regarded as the pinnacle of artistic perfection for centuries after his death. \nRaphael: Sublime Poetry is the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the United States\, bringing together more than 200 of the artist’s greatest masterpieces and rarely seen treasures to illuminate the brilliance of Raphael’s extraordinary creativity. The son of a painter and poet\, Raphael engaged with the foremost writers and thinkers of his age in Rome\, displaying a poetic sensibility that captivated his peers and generations that followed. Follow the full breadth of his life and career\, from his origins in Urbino to his rise in Florence\, where he began to emerge as a peer of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo\, to his final\, prolific decade at the papal court in Rome. \nTo underscore the range of his genius\, this presentation brings together important drawings\, paintings\, and tapestries from public and private collections across Europe and the United States\, many of which have never been shown together. With particular attention to Raphael’s portrayal of women—from his use of nude female models for the first time in Western art to his tender depictions of the Madonna and Child—and recent scientific discoveries made using state-of-the-art technology\, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the genius of an artist who helped shape the course of art history. \n\n\n\n\nMajor funding is provided by Kenneth C. Griffin and Griffin Catalyst\, and Jessie and Charles Price. \nSignificant support is provided by the Richard Riney Family Foundation\, the Ing Foundation\, and Anthony W. and Lulu C. Wang. \nAdditional support is provided by Jim Breyer\, the Fay Etta and Irving Flax Foundation\, Julie and David Tobey\, Barbara A. Wolfe\, Gilbert and Ildiko Butler\, Debra and Leon Black\, Mark Gorenberg and Cathrin Stickney\, the Robert Lehman Foundation\, Dinah Seiver and Thomas E. Foster\, Ann M. Spruill and Daniel H. Cantwell\, and The Coby Foundation\, Ltd. \nThe catalogue is made possible by Katharine Rayner and the Wolfgang Ratjen Stiftung\, Liechtenstein. \nAdditional support is provided by the Tavolozza Foundation\, Allston Chapman\, Katherina Minardo Macht and William Strong Barrett\, Matthew and Ann Nimetz\, The Schiff Foundation\, Christopher Bishop Fine Art\, and Robert M. Buxton. \n \nImage credit: Raphael (Raffaello di Giovanni Santi)\, The Virgin and Child with Infant Saint John the Baptist in a Landscape (The Alba Madonna) (detail)\, ca. 1509–11.

SUMMARY:Gothic by Design: The Dawn of Architectural Draftsmanship
DESCRIPTION:Long before the towers of Gothic cathedrals could pierce the sky\, architects outlined their vision and ambitions by creating intricate designs. The Gothic era\, known for soaring structures like Notre-Dame in Paris\, produced some of the Western world’s most breathtaking buildings. Their overall height\, tall spires\, pointed arches\, and light-filled spaces were a striking departure from the more rounded and fortress-like features of the preceding Romanesque period. These innovative elements resulted from a new focus on the design process that is documented in original architectural drawings. \nGothic by Design: The Dawn of Architectural Draftsmanship reveals how master masons and other artists began to visualize and communicate their complex ideas for cathedrals and other architecture-inspired structures in drawings and\, later\, prints. Between the 13th and 16th century\, these little-known artworks on parchment and paper became a significant factor in the stylistic evolution of Gothic architecture and art at large. \nThis rare presentation of more than 90 works of art—drawings and prints alongside goldsmith works\, architectural elements\, sculpture\, and painting—sheds new light on the artistic choices and expansive knowledge that informed the Gothic building practice. Explore the vision\, imagination\, and skillful artistry embedded in the carefully drawn plans of medieval architects and other artists of the day. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition is made possible by the Placido Arango Fund and the Gail and Parker Gilbert Fund. \nAdditional support is provided by The Schiff Foundation\, Gilbert and Ildiko Butler\, and The Michael and Patricia O’Neill Charitable Fund. \nThe catalogue is made possible by the Diane W. and James E. Burke Fund. \nAdditional support is provided by Hubert and Mireille Goldschmidt\, and Ann M. Spruill and Daniel H. Cantwell. \n \nImage: Possibly by Wenzel Roriczer (German\, born Bohemia\, died 1419). Design for the Entrance Portal of Regensburg Cathedral (detail)\, ca. 1390–1410.
