Accademia di San Luca Celebrates Raphael with Major Exhibition in Rome
In Rome, the Accademia Nazionale di San Luca has launched an exhibition named "Raffaello. L’Accademia di San Luca e il mito dell’urbinate," honoring the 500th anniversary of Raphael Sanzio (1453–1520). This display, which runs at Palazzo Carpegna until January 30, 2021, showcases 55 artworks curated by Francesco Moschini, Valeria Rotili, and Stefania Ventra, with assistance from a scientific committee. The exhibition's initial section features "San Luca che dipinge la Vergine," while additional sections present Raphael-influenced pieces, engravings, and Achille Funi's self-portrait. It also includes works from the church of Santi Luca e Martina al Foro, along with competition drawings and prints. A dedicated study day will explore the putto motif.
