"The Dream of Raphael" is a notable engraving by the Italian printmaker Giorgio Ghisi (1520–1582), created in the mid-16th century. Ghisi, renowned for his intricate engravings and reproductive prints after the works of other artists, produced this piece as an interpretation of a design by Raphael, one of the most esteemed artists of the Italian Renaissance. The engraving is an example of Ghisi's skill in translating the work of Renaissance masters into the medium of print, a practice that played a crucial role in the dissemination of artistic styles and ideas across Europe during this period.

The engraving depicts a scene inspired by the classical myth of Paris, with the shepherd prince asleep under a tree. In his dream, the three goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite appear before him, each vying to be chosen as the fairest—a judgment that would ultimately lead to the Trojan War. Raphael's original design, which has not survived, is thought to have been a preparatory drawing or painting that Ghisi used as a reference for his engraving.

"The Dream of Raphael" is characterized by its fine lines, detailed rendering, and the harmonious composition typical of the High Renaissance style. Ghisi's work reflects the elegance and idealized beauty of Raphael's art, while also showcasing the engraver's own technical prowess and interpretive abilities. The engraving not only serves as a testament to the collaborative nature of art production in the Renaissance but also highlights the role of printmakers in preserving and propagating the works of great artists.

As an important work in the oeuvre of Giorgio Ghisi, "The Dream of Raphael" is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of Renaissance printmaking and the reception of Raphael's art. It remains an exemplary piece for those interested in the intersection of original creation and artistic reproduction during a pivotal era in the history of art.
