Raphael (1483-1520) is considered the most important

artist of the Italian High Renaissance alongside Michelangelo and

Leonardo. In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings

and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on an unsurpassed variety of themes

- from sensual female beauties, antique myths and portraits of wealthy

Romans and church dignitaries to history cycles and biblical scenes. He

produced altarpieces, as well as designing tapestries for the Sistine

Chapel. His Sistine Madonna is one of the most frequently reproduced religious paintings of all time.

Raphael was a tireless learner, for whom there could be

no standing still, no repetition of tried and tested solutions, but

only the constant forward thrust of an inexhaustible imagination. He

transformed his central theme, the visionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality. It was his mature work in Rome,

and above all the frescoes in the Vatican Palace, that secured him his

place in art history. Admired even during his own lifetime as the most modern artist of his day, Raphael's mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.
