Raffaello


Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino born April 6 or March 28, 1483 and died April 6, 1520, better known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. Although this image might not be known by many, at least the name Raffeal hopefully would be.
