Raphael
From "Raphael: Sublime Poetry," at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC
April, 2026
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has an immense and magnificent exhibition dedicated to the artist Raphael. I saw it earlier this month; it is so big that to see it all, you really need to go more than once. So many drawings, all worthy of a careful look!
The curators could not bring the artist's Vatican frescos to NYC, so there was a room set up with projections of the frescos on the four walls. I took the above photo in that room. The figure above is in the fresco called The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple. I believe that he is one of the youths assisting a horseman in driving Heliodorus from the temple.
What caught my eye is the lightness of the figure and the sense that he is hurtling through the air, with neither of his feel touching the ground.

Architectural frieze? of religious figures
Metropolitan Museum of Art
February, 2018
From the museum's web site:
Six Apostles from Retable
This fragment was part of a retable, a frieze installed behind an altar. Depicting Christ and the twelve apostles, it presented the figures in a rhythmic pairing united by an ornately cusped and pinnacled arcade. Represented from left to right are an unidentified apostle and Saint Bartholomew, Saints Andrew and James the Lesser, and Saints John and Peter, who both turn to face the now-missing Christ. The relief is contemporary with the construction of the collegiate church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, begun in 1326. A portion of the retable’s right section is now in the Musée du Louvre.
