Chapter 4: The Visual Elements

Artists: Raphael

As a young contemporary 16th century artist working in the Vatican, Raphael kept company with two of the world's most important artistic figures: Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, who greatly influenced him. If you are interested in finding out more about Raphael and the artists he influenced, check out the virtual room devoted to him at the Uffizi:

Art Issues: Restoration

It seems only fitting that restorer Pinan Brambilla enlisted the help of modern science and technology in restoring The Last Supper. Leonardo's legacy as one of  history's rare true masters of both art and science lives on in preservation efforts. The Sistine Chapel website listed below provides on-line examples of the visual impact of cleaning and restoration:

Art People: Giorgio Vasari

The well-liked Vasari wanted to be remembered as the accomplished artist and architect he was. The fact that his works share company in rooms featuring the artistry of his contemporaries in the Uffizi, a building he designed, is certainly a sign of his accomplishment. To find out more about this important biographer, check out the websites below:
