About Raphael
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, universally known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Born in Urbino in 1483, he received early artistic training from his father, Giovanni Santi, and later worked under Pietro Perugino. By 1504, Raphael had moved to Florence, where he produced numerous influential works, particularly depictions of the Madonna. In 1508, Pope Julius II invited him to Rome, where he executed monumental fresco cycles in the Vatican Palace, including The School of Athens. Alongside Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Raphael formed the traditional trinity of High Renaissance masters. Beyond painting, he was appointed chief architect of Saint Peter's Basilica in 1514. Known for his clarity of form, compositional harmony, and visual poise, Raphael ran an unusually large and productive workshop. He died prematurely in Rome on April 6, 1520, at the age of thirty-seven, leaving behind a profound artistic legacy.
