"The Dream of Raphael" is an engraving by the Italian artist Marcantonio Raimondi, dating from the early 16th century. Raimondi was a notable printmaker of the Renaissance period, renowned for his skillful reproductions of paintings by masters such as Raphael, whose work he had a particular affinity for. This engraving is believed to be based on a lost drawing by Raphael and depicts a classical scene that reflects the artistic and philosophical interests of the High Renaissance.

The composition of "The Dream of Raphael" is often interpreted as an allegory, rich with symbolic elements that were common in Renaissance art. It features a reclining female figure, possibly representing a nymph or a goddess, who is surrounded by putti, or cherubic infants, in various states of activity. The central figure's pose and the serene landscape that envelops the scene suggest a dreamlike state, which may be an allusion to the Neoplatonic concept of divine inspiration or the ideal beauty that artists like Raphael and Raimondi sought to capture in their work.

Raimondi's engraving stands as a testament to the collaborative nature of art during the Renaissance, where the exchange of ideas between painters and printmakers facilitated the spread of artistic styles and themes throughout Europe. "The Dream of Raphael" is particularly significant for its demonstration of Raimondi's technical prowess in translating the delicate lines and compositions of Raphael's drawings into the medium of print, allowing for a wider appreciation and dissemination of the High Renaissance aesthetic.

Today, "The Dream of Raphael" is studied not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance in the context of Renaissance printmaking. It is housed in various collections around the world and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
