Exhibition 'Impressions of Raphael Immortality & Myth of an artist' in Christ Church Picture Gallery
Raphael’s (1483–1520) artistic fame never died and the medium of print helped to spread it, while also satisfying the demand to own the master’s ideas and designs. At the centre of this exhibition will be prints from the collection of Henry Aldrich (1648–1710) whose fascination with Raphael went far beyond collecting the artist’s designs to using them for his own creative output.
