Raphael, Copy from Donatello's 'Miracle of the Miser's Heart' (recto), ca.1505-1520, pen and brown ink on paper, 10 1/16 in. x 8 in. (25.56 cm. x 20.32 cm.), Recognized as one of the most talented artists in history, Raphael honed his skills and trained his assistants through the imitation of established models. Copying was then and still is today a significant part of the formal training of any budding artist and often complements the study of live models. Raphael referenced the work of Donatello (ca. 1386--1466) many times throughout his career. The three figures drawn in this study after a relief in Donatello?s high altar of Sant?Antonio, Padua reappear on the right edge of the steps in Raphael?s renowned fresco ?School of Athens? in the ?Stanze? of the Vatican (1509--11). This drawing might have circulated in Raphael?s studio as part of a repository of images waiting to be reengaged in future projects.
