Raphael BiographySanzio Raphael was born on 6 April 1483, in Urbino (Pesaro e Urbino, Marches, Italy); and died in 1520, Rome (Lazio, Italy). Since 1501 Raphael painter finished paintings for some churches such as the "Mond Crucifixion" and the Brera Wedding of the Virgin, and Oddi Altarpiece. It's possible that the artist visited Florence in those years. Some large paintings of Raphael were in the somewhat static style of Perugino. In these years Archangel Raphael, Three Graces and St. Michael are examples of many small and exquisite cabinet paintings by Raphael, and Madonna Raphael portraits were started in this period. Sanzio Raphael was able to assimilate the influence of Florentine art, whilst keeping the developing style of pictures of Raphael. His portrait paintings begin to take more dynamic and complex positions, some subjects were still painted mostly tranquilly as fighting nude men that was one of the obsessions of the period in Florence art. Another Raphael portrait is a young woman that uses the three-quarter length pyramidal composition of Raphaelesque, but looks like the just-completed "Mona Lisa". There is an artwork by Raphael in the Royal Collection of lost Leda and the Swan by da Vinci. But the artist keeps the soft clear light of Perugino in paintings of Raphael. In Vasari's time, Raphael Athens impact on Roman art, and the painter remains generally regarded as the greatest painting masterpieces such as The School of Athens, The Parnassus and the Disputa. Sanzio Raphael the artist would have been aware of his paintings in Florence, but in the most original works during those years. We can see on the wall in Raphael’s School of Athens, the originals of many paintings such as The "Raphael Cartoons" and Archangel Raphael Madonna. Raphael's premature death was on Good Friday (April 6, 1520), which was possibly his 37th birthday. The artist Raphael had a night of excessive sex and after that he fell into a fever, but maybe he didn't tell this to his doctors so that got wrong cure, which killed Raphael Sanzio. The inscription in the marble sarcophagus of Raphael the painter, reads:"Here lies that famous Raphael by whom Nature feared to be conquered while he lived, and when he was dying, feared herself to die." |
