Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino) was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, celebrated for the clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Born on April 6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy, Raphael was the son of Giovanni Santi, a court painter to the Duke of Urbino, who provided his early training. Raphael's work is admired for its balanced and harmonious qualities, which have made him one of the most influential artists in Western art history.

Raphael's career can be divided into three phases: his early years in Umbria, a period of about four years (1504–1508) of productive activity in Florence, and his last, triumphant twelve years in Rome, where he worked for two Popes and their close associates. During his time in Florence, Raphael studied the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, which profoundly influenced his style. His Florentine period is marked by the development of his own distinctive artistic voice, characterized by serene and harmonious compositions.

In 1508, Raphael was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II, where he was commissioned to fresco the Pope's private library, the Stanza della Segnatura, in the Vatican. This commission included some of his most famous works, such as "The School of Athens," which epitomizes the classical spirit of the Renaissance. Raphael's work in Rome solidified his reputation as one of the leading artists of his time.

Raphael's contributions to architecture are also significant. He was appointed the chief architect of St. Peter's Basilica in 1514, following the death of Donato Bramante. Raphael's architectural designs are noted for their clarity, symmetry, and adherence to classical principles.

Raphael's untimely death on April 6, 1520, at the age of 37, marked the end of an era in Renaissance art. He was buried in the Pantheon in Rome, a testament to his enduring legacy. His influence extended beyond his lifetime, shaping the course of Western art and inspiring countless artists in the centuries that followed.
