Overview

A luxury jewelry maker's newest collection, inspired by Raphael's School of Athens Italian-born, Connecticut-based jeweler Giulio Manfredi presents his latest collection of 21 jewels, each inspired by a different character from Raphael's The School of Athens. Surrounded by preparatory drawings of the famous painting in Raphael's Cartoon Room at the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana, the jewels are displayed delicately from diaphanous figures that seem to descend from the gallery walls. Accompanying the exhibition, this volume also provides preliminary sketches of the jewels themselves alongside reproductions of Raphael's individual character studies, thus offering revelatory insights into the processes of both artists. Continuing a timeless dialogue of culture and beauty, Manfredi's transcendent creations pay an elegant homage to the master from Urbino.
