Hardback. Very Good. ISBN 0091901715 9780091901714 [GB]

London England: Ebury Press, Date: 2006. Hardback. First Edition. The Raphael Trail. Raphael's St George and the Dragon is the work of a genius - an equisitely rendered vision of heroism and innocence by one of the greatest painters of all time. Yet the painting's creation is only the beginning of a fascinating story that spans cebturies of power play and intrigue, taking in a cast of characters both colourful and terrifying. For the young Raphael the painting was an expression of his growing talents and a crucial step in his ascent to the peak of the Renaissance art world. But for a succession of jealous owners it became a symbol of power and prestige. Painted in italy, St. George and the Dragon was sent to England as a gift for Henry VII in exchange for the prestigious Knighthood of the Garter, art being traded for honour. The painting then mysteriously disappeared for a century before re-emerging as one of the key works in the great collection of art built up by Charles I, only to be sold when the collection was forcibly broken up after his execution. When Catherine the Great, a monarch of enormous appetites - political, sexual and cultural - later heard the painting was again on the market, she dispatched the famous philosopher Diderot to add it to her vast collection at the Hermitage in Russia. Treated both as an icon and as a Western masterpiece, St. George and the Dragon survived fire and the Russian Revolution, only to be sold by the arch-Communist Stalin to ...

Hardback. New. For its artist, "Raphael" the painting represented a crucial step in his ascent to the peak of the Renaissance art world. Within this perfectly rendered painting, stories of greed and warfare can be traced, and in its history, the changing centres of world dominance can be seen. This work talks about this painting.

It is an exquisitely rendered vision of a universal tale of good and evil. And it is also an example of how art witnesses and participates in the ebb and flow of world power. For its artist, "Raphael" the painting represented a crucial step in his ascent to the peak of the Renaissance art world and for a succession of jealous owners it was the ultimate symbol of power and prestige. Painted for a young Henry VII the painting then played a crucial part in the diplomatic intrigues in Henry VIII's rumbustious court. After Charles I's execution it moved through France into the gathering power and purchases of Catherine the Great and her Hermitage. It is a small work of art and during the Russian Revolution its vulnerability was perilous - it was shunted around Russia as war raged until, in an utterly dodgy transaction it was sold by Stalin to the US Treasury Secretary.
