Considered one of great master painters, Raphael was an Italian painter and architect
in the High Renaissance. Raphael, along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, are
considered the great trinity of master painters of the High Renaissance period. He was
a prolific artist, and despite death at the young age of 37, has a considerable body of
work to study.
Raphael was born into an artistic family, as his father was the court painter to The Duke
of Urbino. After his mother’s death in 1491 and his father’s death in 1494, eleven year
old Raphael, who had already shown artistic talent, played a large role in continuing
his father’s painting studio.
He was first described as a fully-trained master painter in 1501, roughly around the age
of 19. Even at this early stage in his career, he was in high demand, and completed
many commissioned works. Raphael continued to paint, traveling constantly, living the
life of a semi-nomadic painter. He was able to merge the influence of Florentine art with
his own developing style, creating a smooth, flowing composition, which was highly
regarded.

The three great masters, Raphael, Leondardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo,
were all contemporaries. Leonardo was thirty years Raphael’s senior, and the
younger painter incorporated many elements of da Vinci’s paintings in to his
own works. Michelangelo, on the other hand, was only eight years Raphael’s
senior. Michelangelo already did not like Leonardo, and he disliked the rising
popularity of Raphael even more, starting conspiracies and spreading rumors
about Raphael.
In 1508, Raphael moved to Rome, where he would reside for the rest of his
life. His first major work inn Rome was a commission to decorate the Pope’s
private library, the Stanza della Segnatura. After he finished this room, the
Pope was so pleased with his work that he assigned him to other rooms of
the building, displacing other artists who had been commissioned to
complete the works.
