"Great Artists, Vol 1.: Raphael, Rubens, Murillo, and Durer" by Jennie Ellis Keysor is an educational work that appears to have been written in the late 19th century. The book provides detailed sketches of several great artists, notably Raphael, Rubens, and Murillo, and aims to illuminate their lives and contributions to art. It serves as both a biographical account and an introduction to their masterpieces, encouraging readers to develop a deeper appreciation
for these influential figures in the art world. The opening of the book lays the foundation for the study of Raphael, highlighting his reputation as a painter and the respect he commanded in his time. It details Raphael's early life, background, and upbringing in Urbino, touching upon his artistic education and the influences that shaped his career. The narrative paints a vivid picture of Raphael's character—his kindness, skill, and the warmth he inspired in his pupils—as well as his significant works, such as the revered Madonnas. The author sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the artist's life, inviting readers into the world of Renaissance art and the transformative power of painting.
