Abstract

Embracing Infinity

Jeffrey Collins

In the Stanza signatura in the Vatican, Raphael painted a vision of what humans do best when debating the mysteries of science and spirit. What is often not noticed in determining who is who in this cerebral celebration of ideas is the paradoxical architecture itself. Raphael borrows Bramante’s coffered vaults, reworks them, extends them, and reticulates their form, back, and further back, and further still, until you see only cloudscapes.
