Title: Raphael Santi by F. K. Mohr
Post by: Casper Friedrich on June 08, 2020, 01:01:07 AM
Bought the WIMOR set Julius II and the Belvedere Apollo second hand on Ebay.de
The background is that I last autumn celebrated my 50th birthday in the Eternal City, but because the person I was travelling with got ill I missed the Vatican and it's treasures.
But I did see the Pantheon, were Raphael is buried.
The figure is primed with alkyd auto paint, I am experimenting with darker undercoating for the hat and coat.
BTW Donate Bramante to the left, found just out that Raphael painted him as Euclid in the school of Athens. That information will be helpful when it comes to complexion and hair colour of the figure.
