BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Early lithography.

Biography engraver: Ferdinand von Piloty II (1786-1844) was a German lithographer. He was the father of artist Karl von Piloty. He initially studied painting, but his interests soon switched to lithography. From 1808 to 1815, with Johann Nepomuk Strixner (1782?1855), he produced a series of 423 lithographs, titled Les oeuvres lithographiques par Strixner, Piloty et Comp.. From 1836, with Joseph L?hle (1807?1840), he produced a series of copies from the Alte Pinakothek and the Schleissheim Gallery. Following the death of Gottlieb Bodmer in 1837, Piloty and L?hle continued publication of his works.

Biography artist: Raffaello Sanzio (1483-1520), known as Raphael, was a master painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His works, praised for their clarity, balance, and harmony, influenced artists for centuries.
