Raphael; Sublime Poetry at the Met, New York

Raphael: Sublime Poetry is the first comprehensive exhibition on Raffaello ever held in the United States, seven years in the making, bringing together more than 200 works from the Louvre, the Uffizi, the Vatican Museums, and collections across the world. Many of these works have never been seen outside Europe before. It is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from March 29 to June 28, 2026. This was one of the exhibitions I was most excited to see in 2026, and it did not disappoint.
