The Art Newspaper has an article about a major project that has seen the comprehensive photographing of the magnificent Raphael Cartoons in the Royal Collection and which are on long term loan to the V&A. Acquired by King Charles I they were loaned by Queen Victoria to the Museum as part of her commemoration of the Prince Consort who was a devotee of Raphael’s work. It was the Prince who first had the series photographed in the late 1850s when they were still at Hampton Court.
The article, with information about the latest use of contemporary technology, can be viewed at Raphael Cartoons are ready for their close-up on V&A website
