Art Talk - Raphael: Artist & Visionary (Your Local Library Event)

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 7 PM via Zoom

The Italian painter and architect Raphael became one of the defining figures of the High Renaissance — revered for his grace, harmony, and masterful balance of beauty and structure. The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently exhibited more than 200 of his drawings, paintings, tapestries, and decorative works in a blockbuster retrospective exhibition. If you could not get to the Met or you would like to know more, this presentation will provide a unique window into Raphael's creative process and the depth of his artistic thinking.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Pennington Public Library and the Hopewell Valley Arts Council
