Raphael (artist)

Raphael painted the Madonna of the Meadows for the Rucellai family in Florence, Italy. It was commissioned by Giovanni Rucellai as a private devotional piece for his family chapel.

Raphael Sanzio was a High Renaissance artist. He is mostly known for his Stanza della Segnatura frescoes and the School of Athens painting.

He didn't go to a school. He was taught be his father.

which raphael? The painter or the archangel? The Italian renaissance painter Raphael painted a big part of St. Peter's Basilica(Raphael Rooms) and he also was know to be the best painter of the renaissance period along with Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. As for the Archangel I don't know that much really.

Leonardo was born out of wedlock, but was raised by his father and stepmother so he was taken care of but wasn't necessarily poor or rich. At age five he moved to live with his uncle and grandparents. He got little formal education beyond basic reading, writing and math, but his artistic talents were obvious from an early age. About age 14 he was given an apprenticeship with Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence. In his apprenticeship he learned techniques and technical skills as well as metalwork, leather arts, carpentry, drawing, painting, and sculpting. At the age of 20 he qualified for guild membership and established his own workshop. One of the main problems he had all of his life was finishing work and he would take commissions but not finish them. He was sued several times for not completing a commission he was all ready paid for, so he was poor as an adult. He died at the French court with the king acting as his sponsor.

* Born: 6 April 1483 * Birthplace: Urbino, Duchy of Urbino (Italy) * Died: 6 April 1520 * Best Known As: High Renaissance painter of The School of AthensRaphael, like michelangelo and leonardo-da-vinci, is one of the most famous artists of Italy's High Renaissance and one of the greatest influences in the history of Western art. Immensely talented, he first studied with his father and then as an assistant to the great master Pietro Vannucci, known as Perugino. Raphael (also known as Raffaello Sanzio) worked in Florence (1504) and earned a reputation as a productive and much-admired painter before going to Rome sometime after 1508. In Rome he was commissioned by pope-julius-ii to create the large-scale fresco The School of Athens, as well as other decorative work at the Vatican. Raphael also took over as architect of St. Peter's after the death of Donato Bramante (1514), contributed ten tapestries to the Sistine Chapel and painted some of the most prized and reproduced holy pictures of the era, including The Sistine Madonna and Transfiguration. His work is often cited for its harmony and balance of composition, and his early death (on his 37th birthday) is considered by many experts to be one of the great tragedies of art history. The 19th century artists known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and including poet/painter dante-gabriel-rossetti, sought to advance the style of Italian art that preceded Raphael... Michelangelo was notoriously cranky and Raphael was famously amiable -- they did not associate with one another, even though they both worked in Rome at the same time... Raphael's famous signature, RVSM, stood for "Raphael Vrbinus Sua Mano" (Raphael of Urbino, His Hand).

No. It shows some of the great philosophers from antiquity, from different places and different centuries.

According to Vasari, Raphael's premature death on Good Friday (April 6, 1520), which was possibly his 37th birthday, was caused by a night of excessive sex with Luti, his mistress, after which he fell into a fever and, not telling his doctors that this was its cause, was given the wrong cure, which killed him.

He was a painter and an architect - not a sculptor.

Raphael of Brooklyn died in 1915.

He suffered in bed for 15 days and then died on his birthday at age 37. :-) :-) :-)

Hi did a couple of self portraits. Click link below to see one of them.

Maybe you have heard of rumors, that Raphael the painter died of too much sex. This is often told, but scholars say that it is a total fabrication of no substance. If you mean the archangel Raphael you will know that angels cannot die.

Raphael is one of the three archangels named in scripture.

He influenced the Renaissance by his awesome paintings.

There is usually one and the same answer to those questions 'Why did XXX become an artist?' Because they felt they had the talent and the urge. It is as simple as that!

No, he did not, he just painted beautiful pictures.

They both lived in Florence for a while

Basically illness. It's is difficult to determine exactly what, since medical knowledge of individual diseases was somewhat limited, so it was concluded that he simply died of fever.

Raphael and Michelangelo were competitors. Enemies? A strong word!

Sanzio is Raphael's surname.
