Description

Intricate hand-painted miniatures honour the breathtaking genius of Raphael, master of the High Renaissance. Five of the artist’s most recognised works have been painstakingly recreated and framed by a geometric, sterling-silver sheath inspired by his School of Athens fresco. Five hundred years after his death, high art meets high artisanship: a celebration of Italian virtuosity.

Atelier artist, Alessandra Malesan, draws on a long career restoring many of Europe’s most valuable artworks. Her work on the Raffaello collection marks the first instance that micro-brushwork has featured on a limited-edition release.

This extraordinarily low-denomination edition calls upon the high-craft of Montegrappa Atelier. Our exclusive workshop specialises in private commissions, and individual pieces can take hundreds of hours to complete.
