Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, born on April 6, 1483 and died on April 6, 1520. His work is respected for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.
Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he is one of the
three great masters of that period.
Raphael, who was very active, ran a large workshop made up of many pupils and left many works despite his early death at 37.
Many of his works are in the Vatican Palace, where the Raphael Rooms, painted with frescoes, are the central and the largest work of his career. His most famous work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura, and he was extremely influential in his lifetime.

First described by Giorgio Vasari, his career falls into three phases and three styles such as his early years in Umbria, a period when he absorbed the artistic traditions of Florence, and a period when he worked in Rome for two Popes and their close associates.
