1520 Accademia Discovered Displayed Pantheon Raffaelle Raffaello Sanzio Skull Henceforth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the remains of the legendary Italian artist Raffaello Sanzio, better known as Raffaello or Raphael, are being carefully excavated from the hallowed grounds of Rome's ancient Pantheon. The year is 1520 and the discovery of Raffaello's skull marks a significant moment in art history. Raffaello, who lived from 1483 to 1520, was one of the most celebrated painters of the High Renaissance. His mastery of perspective, color, and form influenced generations of artists. But his untimely death at the age of just 37 left a void in the artistic community that would never truly be filled. The Pantheon, a monumental temple dedicated to all the gods of ancient Rome, had long been a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists. But on this day, the focus was on a small, unassuming area in the back of the building. It was here, in a previously undisturbed corner, that the remains of Raffaello were found. The news of the discovery spread like wildfire throughout Rome and beyond. Art lovers and historians flocked to the Pantheon to pay their respects to the great master. But it was not long before plans were made to give Raffaello a more fitting resting place. The skull of Raffaello was carefully transported to the Accademia di San Luca, the oldest and most prestigious art academy in Rome. There, it would be displayed as a reminder of the artist's greatness and as an inspiration to future generations. And so, the remains of Raffaello Sanzio, the man who had brought beauty and grace to the world through his art, found their final resting place in the heart of the Eternal City.
