Description:
|
|
The most ambitious and largest of all his paintings in oil (tempera grassa), his last altarpiece, the Transfiguration (Rome, Pin. Vaticana), was commissioned by the Pope’s cousin, Cardinal Giulio de’ Medici, by January 1517 and exhibited as a finished work just after Raphael’s death. This was intended for export, to Narbonne Cathedral of which Giulio was archbishop; after Raphael's death it remained in Italy. The subject of Raphael’s painting is not simply the Transfiguration, the manifestation of Christ’s divinity to his disciples, but a subsequent event, the failure of the disciples to heal a boy possessed by demons (related in the Gospel of Matthew).
