Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael, was a renowned Italian artist during the High Renaissance. Born in 1483 and passing away at a young age of 37 in 1520, his artistic legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. One of his notable works is the "Portrait of Elisabetta Gonzaga" painted between 1503-06. This oil on wood panel masterpiece showcases Raphael's exceptional talent in capturing the essence and beauty of his subjects. Another remarkable piece is the "Disputation of the Holy Sacrament, " where we see a detail from this magnificent fresco created between c. 1501-1520. The intricate details and vibrant colors demonstrate Raphael's mastery in creating visually stunning compositions. In addition to portraiture and religious themes, Raphael also excelled in frescoes such as the enigmatic "Young Man. " Although attributed to him, its exact creation date remains uncertain but reveals his ability to depict human emotions with great sensitivity. "The Eternal Father and the Virgin" is another noteworthy work by Raphael. Collaborating with Evangelista di Pian del Meleto, they used tempera on panel to depict this divine scene filled with grace and serenity. The influence of Raphael can be seen even after his death through paintings like "Virgin with Child, " which pays homage to his style while showcasing other artists' interpretations inspired by him. Amongst his portraits lies one depicting Guidubaldo da Montefeltro; it exemplifies how he captured not only physical resemblance but also conveyed an individual's character through meticulous brushwork. Raphael's devotion towards religious themes shines through masterpieces like "The Holy Family meeting the Infant St John Baptist. " Painted between 1518-20 alongside Giovan Francesco Penni, this oil on panel artwork emanates warmth and tenderness that touches viewers' hearts. Another iconic holy family painting attributed to him is known as Madonna del Popolo, Madonna di Loreto or Madonna del Velo.
