Architecture

Raphael's career as an architect saw him work on St Peter's Basilica, Vatican

ADOLPHE FRANÇOIS PANNEMAKER (B. 1822)

The façade of Raphael's House

c.1840-1873

Etching | 12.9 x 19.0 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 854136

An etching by Adolphe Pannemaker after a drawing by Sauvestre which copies a print by Antonio Lafreri depicting the architectural measured elevation of the façade of the Palazzo Caprini. The print is lettered with the title in French and production details. Ruland (1876) notes that the print was published in Passavant's "Raphael d'Urbin". Trimmed within platemark.

The Palazzo, now destroyed, was erected to Bramante's project between 1501 and 1510 for the apostolic protonotary Adriano Caprini. This building was also known as "Palazzo di Raffaello", as in 1517 it was acquired by Raphael, who spent the rest of his life there. The Palazzo was in Borgo rione (district) in Rome and since the end of the 16th century it became the main core of Palazzo dei Convertendi, which was demolished in 1938 for the opening of Via della Conciliazione.
