Although music does not play such a prominent role in Raphael‘s output as in, for instance, Titian or Caravaggio, still he was born and worked in very musical places: Urbino and Rome. During this webinar, Robert L. Kendrick, William Colvin Professor in Music, Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago, will look at the music that Raphael might have heard and that might have sounded around him, both in the Marche region and in the Eternal City.
This event is organized by the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institutes in Montreal, Toronto, New York, Washington, DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles, on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the death of Raphael.
