Zusammenfassung:"After Raphael is the first comprehensive overview of sixteenth-century Italian painting to be published in over thirty years. Reevaluating the paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, Pontormo, Rosso, Bronzino, Salviati, and their followers in the light of recent research, Marcia Hall offers a new interpretation for the stylistic shifts that occurred after 1520. By taking into account the social, cultural, political, theological, and patronage issues that affected taste and stylistic developments, she demonstrates how the revival of interest in antique Roman relief sculpture affected Mannerist painters. She also examines the repercussions of the Protestant Reformation, which changed forever the Church's view of the function of images. Beginning already in Michelangelo's Pauline Chapel, a new style and decorum of sacred painting evolved and took shape slowly in the second half of the century. In the realm of public and private decoration, a new syntax and vocabulary of ornament that developed in this period provided a legacy that would be used for the next three centuries. This study also examines the work of the Carracci and Caravaggio, whose personal manners developed out of this profound shift in style, and from whose work the Baroque emerged."--BOOK JACKET.
