EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Raphael and His Mistress," is a mid-16th century creation by the Italian artist Ugo da Carpi. The image showcases the Old Master Raphael Sanzio, renowned painter from Urbino, Italy, and his mistress in a quiet, intimate setting. Raphael, depicted in monochrome chiaroscuro technique from four blocks, is shown seated, deep in thought, while his mistress stands beside him, gesturing towards him with an expressive hand gesture. The couple's connection is palpable, hinting at the complexities of their relationship. Raphael, born Raffaello Santi, was a pivotal figure in the High Renaissance period, known for his mastery of various artistic mediums, including painting and sculpture. His works, characterized by their clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur, left a lasting impact on Western art. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, offers a unique glimpse into the personal side of this artistic genius. The image serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Old Masters on contemporary art. The print's intricate details and nuanced portrayal of human emotion continue to captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to the museum's collection.
