Amagat entre muntanyes acinglerades i desavinents, en algun lloc remot de les Guilleries transitat per caçadors de llops, bandolers, emboscats, carlins, sortilleres, maquis, pilots de ral·lis, fantasmes, bèsties i dimonis, el mas Clavell s'agafa a terra com una paparra.

Für Giorgio Vasari, dem einzigartigen Chronisten der italienischen Malerei gab es die Götter: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci und Raffael, danach kam erst der Herrgott. Raffael war unter den Dreien der jugendliche Tragiker, der an einem Karfreitag geboren wurden und mit noch jungen Jahren von 37 ebenfalls an einem Karfreitag starb. Vasari schildert das gleichwohl illustre wie arbeitsreiche Leben Raffaels in schillerndsten Farben und gibt dabei dem ungebremsten Lebenswandel Raffaels die Schuld an seinem frühen Tod, der durch einen Aderlass zur Kurierung einer Geschlechtskrankheit verursacht worden sein soll

Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) was a man of many talents - a sculptor, painter, architect, writer, and scholar - but he is best known for Lives of the Artists, which singlehandedly established the canon of Italian Renaissance art. Before Vasari's extraordinary book, art was considered a technical skill, and artists were mere decorators and craftsmen. It was through Vasari's visionary writings that Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo came to be regarded as great masters of life as well as art, their creative genius celebrated as a divine gift.
