"Allegory of Life (The Dream of Raphael)" is a renowned engraving by the Italian printmaker Giorgio Ghisi, created in the mid-16th century. This intricate work of art is often celebrated for its detailed execution and its complex iconography, which has been the subject of scholarly interpretation. The engraving is believed to pay homage to the esteemed Renaissance artist Raphael Sanzio, known simply as Raphael, and is thought to depict a dream or vision experienced by the artist, filled with allegorical figures and symbols representing various aspects of life and art.

The engraving measures 42.5 x 30.7 cm and is characterized by its fine lines and elaborate composition, showcasing Ghisi's mastery of the engraving medium. The central scene is often interpreted as an allegory of the arts, with personifications of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture prominently featured, along with other figures that may represent Poetry and Music. These figures are typically shown in a celestial setting, surrounded by a landscape that merges the earthly with the divine, suggesting the transcendent nature of artistic creation.

"Allegory of Life (The Dream of Raphael)" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Renaissance. The work is emblematic of the period's fascination with classical antiquity, humanism, and the role of the artist as a conduit between the mortal and the divine. Ghisi's engraving is part of a larger tradition of prints that disseminated the styles and ideas of the Italian Renaissance throughout Europe, influencing artists and patrons alike.
