Raphael: A Passionate Life
Written by Antonio ForcellinoLucinda Byatt (trans.)
Review by Alan Fisk
Raphael Santi was the painter who did the most to bring art forward from its mediaeval traditions into the glories of the Renaissance. The son of a father who was a competent, but not brilliant, painter himself, Raphael took over the family studio at an astonishingly young age after his father&#;s death. Raphael soon left his home town of Urbino, increasing his fame as he moved on to Florence and then to Rome, where aggressive Popes were demanding that the very best artists of the age should serve them.
This is a detailed biography that explains Raphael&#;s achievements during his short life (he died at 37), while also showing how his social skills and affable temperament helped him to advance his career. He proved that it was not necessary to be a tortured and curmudgeonly soul to be a great artist.
This informative book is also a rich treasury of information about the artistic developments and techniques of the period.
The translation is by HNS member Lucinda Byatt, but I am sure that our Lucy was not responsible for “throws” for throes, “miniscule”, bells “peeling”, and “straightaway”. Oh, for the days when books were edited properly.

BIOGRAPHY
Marloes ten Bhömer (b. , Duiven, the Netherlands)is an independent designer researcher and previously a Senior Research Fellow in Design at Kingston University London () and external examiner at Goldsmiths University's MA Design: Expanded Practice (). She is based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Ten Bhömer’s practice-based research focuses on women’s footwear from technical, material, socio-political and cultural perspectives. She consistently aims to challenge generic typologies of women’s shoes through experiments with non-traditional technologies and material techniques. By reinventing the design methodology and the process by which footwear is made, the resulting shoes serve as unique examples of new aesthetic and structural possibilities, while also serving to criticise the conventional status of women’s shoes as cultural objects.
Her current research considers the role design and media play in the social and cultural formation of the ‘high-heeled woman’, in turn challenging the hardened typologies that uphold repressive stereotypes with regard to women’s social and physical mobility. Her objective is to understand and propose alternatives to the status quo.
Alongside her practice, she works towards
