Culturespaces | Le Pérugin, Maître de Raphaël, Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris. /Perugino, maestro di Raffaello/Perugino, Raphael’s master. Hmm …Comme mes lecteurs savent déjà, à mon avis Le Pérugin n’était pas le maître de Raphaël. Ce dernier a appris son métier chez son père, … Continue reading

The “Annunciation” painted by Giovanni Santi, Raphael’s father
I am quite a fan of “dear old Mr Santi”, as the art historian Kenneth Clark described him, so I was keen to go and see this picture on display in Senigallia as part of the exhibition “La Grazie e la … Continue reading
