Acclaimed during his lifetime, Raphael was imitated by contemporaries and served as a model for painters through the nineteenth century. Hoeniger focuses on the five-hundred-year story of many of Raphael's most well-known paintings: some being lost altogether and others damaged, and reveals the historical trajectory - or 'afterlife' - of the paintings themselves.
