The first volume of the series Raphael and His Time starts with a study of the Portrait of
Baldassare Castiglione in its cultural contexts confronting it with the Portrait of Antonio
Tebaldeo . The second contribution focuses on Raphael's Madonna dell'Impannata of which a new
version has recently surfaced and which is here presented as a workshop replica. Stress is
laid on the technical analysis which allows to identify the picture as a painting coming from
the workshop of Raphael.
