Pope Leo X, in 1518, commissioned Raphael for a work that remains unparalleled in artistic and architectural history. Within the private apartments of the Vatican was a vaulted arcade. Leo X was well versed in history and had a penchant for collecting both books and objects from Rome’s rich past. Raphael had worked on the excavation of the Golden House of Nero as chief archaeologist. To thoroughly please His Holiness, Raphael created a Pompeian fantasy with an emphasis on the Roman penchant for grottos on this open-sided gallery.
Known as “Raphael’s Bible”, many of the frescoes painted by Raphael were taken directly from the text of the Bible. However, in re-creating scenes of ornate fancies, the Loggia was perhaps best known as an indulgence of decorative history. Within its walls, ceilings, arches, and doors could be found the combinations of man and beast, myth and reality, religion and eroticism. While maintaining a formal sense of the Renaissance style he shared with Michelangelo and Leonardo, Raphael allowed his brush to express the mythology of the famed Roman subterranean “Grotteschi”.
The publishing of “Delle Loggie….” was undertaken to satisfy the renewed 18th century interested in the classical themes found in the Renaissance. Although many of the original frescoes had suffered the ravages of time, tapestries also created by Raphael for the Vatican provided design elements that could be inserted to complete the drawings.
The combined talents of Savorelli and Teseo, both of whom worked in the style of Raphael., and the Roman architect, Camporesi, who had worked for Pope Clement XIII and Pius VI creating rooms on the Vatican Museum, created the series of prints as a source for architects and designers. Ottaviani, who had also engraved works after Reni and Guercino; and Volpato, who had studied with Bartolozzi (a teacher of Redoute, and engraved works after Correggio, Tintoretto, Leonardo, as well as Raphael; engraved the plates. Hand-coloring throughout the centuries only enhanced the remarkable size and scope of this magnificent work. Foreshadowing the ubiquitous coffee-table books, this study of Raphael’s frescos, both biblical and grotesque, was meant for the traveler as well, to sate the ever-unquenched thirst for information on Vatican art and ornament.
