About Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
1483–1520 · Italian
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino — called Raphael — was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His Vatican Stanze frescoes (1509–1514), the Sistine Chapel tapestry cartoons (1515–1516), and the Transfiguration (1520) established him alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo as a defining master of Christian art. His Madonnas — the Sistine, the Alba, the Belle Jardinière, the Madonna della Seggiola — became the image of the Virgin for centuries.
