The volume returns a completely new profile of Pellegrino da Modena, thus far the most enigmatic of Raphael’s collaborators. Arriving in Rome at the time of Pope Julius II, Pellegrino soon gained the trust of Raphael and Baldassarre Peruzzi, who involved him in some of the main artistic undertakings of the early sixteenth century. His participation in Sanzio’s workshop and his relationship with the architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger led to an impressive updating of the Modenese artist’s painting on the models of the modern manner, which earned him the praise of Giorgio Vasari. The book redraws the geography and path of Pellegrino between Rome and the Lazio area until the painter’s return to Emilia and the extreme phase of his activity: a very short but crucial season for the subsequent generation of Modena painters and at the same time to follow the early circulation of the language of Raphael’s school north of the Apennines, a breath before the arrival of Giulio Romano in Mantua.
