Triumph of Galatea - Framed Prints
1,150 Rs
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.
Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop and, despite his early death at 37, leaving a large body of work. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career.
The best known work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome, much of his work was executed by his workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. View Artist CollectionFramed with Mat

About Triumph of Galatea
"Triumph of Galatea" is one of the most popular fresco by the Italian painter Raphael for the Villa Farnesina in Rome. The fresco is of a mythological scene of a series embellishing the open gallery of the building. In Greek mythology, the beautiful Nereid Galatea had fallen in love with the peasant shepherd Acis. In "Triumph of Galatea", Raphael chose the scene of the nymph's apotheosis where Galatea appears surrounded by other sea creatures. At the left, a Triton (partly man, partly fish) abducts a sea nymph; behind them, another Triton uses a shell as a trumpet. Galatea rides a shell-chariot drawn by two dolphins. The scene describe how the clumsy giant Polyphemus sings a love song to the fair sea-nymph Galatea and how she rides across the waves in a chariot drawn by two dolphins, laughing at his uncouth song, while the gay company of other sea-gods and nymphs is milling round her.About the Framed Prints
