Something wrong?He died at 37, yet ran the largest workshop of the High Renaissance and left frescoes in the Vatican that became the template for harmonious, idealized human form - serene where Michelangelo burned, precise where Leonardo wandered.

Raffaello Sanzio grew up in the small, cultured city of Urbino, son of a court painter who died when the boy was eleven. By 1500 he was already called a master, likely trained under Pietro Perugino. He worked across northern Italy until 1508, when Pope Julius II summoned him to Rome to paint the Apostolic Palace. There he produced the frescoed Raphael Rooms - crowned by The School of Athens - and began taking architectural commissions, all while running an unusually large workshop that executed much of his later work from his drawings. He died in 1520 at the height of his powers. Michelangelo's influence eclipsed his for centuries, but by the 18th and 19th centuries Raphael's clarity and harmony were exalted again as the highest ideals - until the Pre-Raphaelites explicitly rejected him.
