The Mets blockbuster exhibition Raphael: Sublime Poetry finished its run at The Met Fifth Avenue on June 28, having welcomed an extraordinary average of 6,500 visitors per day, making it the museums highest-attended exhibition since 2018. It is also among the museums most visited shows of the past 10 years, behind only Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman and Designer (2017-2018), also curated by Carmen Bambach, and Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination (2018). To date, Raphael has received a total of over 460,000 visitors. With 237 works, and more than 170 by Raphaels own hand, this was the first comprehensive, international loan exhibition in the United States on Raphael (Raffaello di Giovanni Santi; 1483-1520), considered one of the greatest artists of all time. This once-in-a-lifetime show united drawings, paintings, tapestries, and decorative arts from public and private collections around the world to offer a fresh perspective on a defining figure of the Italian Renaissance, presenting his renowned masterpieces alongside rarely seen treasures to reveal an extraordinarily creative mind.
