The Life and Art of Raphael

Raphael Sanzio (1483-1520),known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Considered one of the greatest painters of all time, Raphael's works are celebrated for their beauty, clarity of form, and emotional depth.

Born in Urbino, Italy, Raphael showed an early talent for art. He studied under the Umbrian master Pietro Perugino and later worked in Florence, where he was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. In 1508, he moved to Rome, where he became the official painter to Pope Julius II.
