Raphael (1483-1520) - 1520 Transfiguration (Vaticano, Pinacoteca Apostolica Vaticano, Rome)

            Raphael Sanzio usually known by his first name alone, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, celebrated for the perfection and grace of his work. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.

Raphael was enormously productive, and despite his death at thirty-seven, a large body of his work remains. Many of his works are found in the Apostolic Palace of The Vatican.

He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael's more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models.
