Chapter 1 is a broad overview of these inter-related processes in the context of fifteenth-century workshop practice, art theory and criticism, and their function as labour-saving processes to cope with an artist’s increasing workload. The remainder of the dissertation presents a chronological series of case studies across Raphael’s oeuvre which identifies the source of his re-used designs. Chapter 2 examines the years 1483-1508, whereas Chapter 3 deals with the years 1508-20. A table in the Appendix attempts to compile all known cases of Raphael’s re-use throughout his career. For each case study, there is an attempt to justify Raphael’s adoption of this technique, despite his renowned capacity for invention. By examining the relationship between his prototypes and their future manifestations, the role of invention and creativity in his re-use and reversal process has also been examined. The conclusion re-addresses key themes and ideas developed throughout the dissertation and reconsiders Raphael’s approach to art-making as a pragmatic artist who developed several strategies throughout his career in response to his increasing reputation as one of the innovative geniuses of the High Renaissance.
