Raphael. Paintings, Frescoes, Tapestries. 45th Edition
RaphaelĀ (1483ā1520) is considered the most important artist of the Italian High Renaissance alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo. In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on anĀ unsurpassed variety of themesĀ ā from sensual female beauties, antique myths and portraits of wealthy Romans and church dignitaries to history cycles and biblical scenes. He produced altarpieces, as well as designing tapestries for the Sistine Chapel. HisĀ Sistine MadonnaĀ is one of theĀ most frequently reproduced religious paintings of all time.
Raphael was aĀ tireless learner, for whom there could be no standing still, no repetition of tried and tested solutions, but only the constant forward thrust of an inexhaustible imagination. He transformed his central theme, theĀ visionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality. It was hisĀ mature work in Rome, and above all the frescoes in the Vatican Palace, that secured him his place in art history. Admired even during his own lifetime as theĀ most modern artist of his day, Raphaelās mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.
