More than 100 works by Italian artist Raphael – including 50 from the Ashmolean’s own collection – will go on show in Oxford this month. The exhibition charts Raphael’s career from its beginnings in Umbria, through his time in Florence, to the peak of his success in Rome, when he was working on the Vatican frescoes.
