EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vertical section of the second floor of the Raphael Loggia at the Vatican. Published in the late 18th century, this hand-coloured engraving by Savorelli and Camporesi offers a glimpse into Pope Leo X's private apartments adorned with exquisite frescoes painted by Raphael between 1518 and 1520. The intricate details captured in this image are truly awe-inspiring. From the ornate cross to the pedimented window, every element is meticulously designed to create an atmosphere of grandeur and opulence. The stucco work on the walls adds depth and texture, while decorative garlands hang delicately from above. One cannot help but marvel at the Renaissance design that permeates throughout this space. The trompe l'oeil marbling technique used on various surfaces creates an illusion of real marble, showcasing both artistic skill and architectural ingenuity. The cameo-like arches and arcades further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. As we explore this snapshot from history, it becomes evident why these engravings were commissioned by Pope Clement XIII himself. They serve as a testament to his appreciation for artistry and his desire to preserve these remarkable works for future generations. Now part of a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Raphael's genius but also highlights how interior decoration played an essential role in creating immersive spaces during the 16th century Renaissance period.
