5.0 out of 5 stars Drawings of Raphael (MDS), July 10, 2006

By	Thomas E. Denby - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This series is a superb way of studing Raphael and his drawing techniques. The cross hatching is distinct and the attitudes of the posed figures are classical. The man knew how to observe with a careful eye. Anyone who want to advance in their drawing observation and technique will learn from Raphael or any of the drawing series. Remember all the old masters studied the drawings of other artists to advance their technique and compositions. Even Peter Paul Rubens used the poses from other artists drawings in his works and even drew on the original works at times. The famous 19th century artists studied other artists graphic works in museums to help advance their artistic studies in technique and compositions. Now with the production so advance in reproduction we do not have to travel to far museums to study the works of artists. This series bring them right to our door.
