Student of:
Pietro Perugino
(c.1445-1523). |
|||||||
| In 1507 RAFFAELLO SANZIO was commissioned to paint the Deposition of Christ that is now in the Borghese Raphael paintings gallery in Rome. In this oil painting, it is obvious that he set himself deliberately to learn from Michelangelo the expressive possibilities of human anatomy. But he differed from Leonardo and Michelangelo, who were both artists of dark intensity and excitement, in that he wished to develop a calmer and more extroverted style that would serve as a popular, universally accessible form of visual communication. |

Raphael spent the last 12
years of his short life in Rome. They were
years of feverish activity and successive
masterpieces. His first task in the city was
to paint a cycle of frescoes in a suite of
medium-sized rooms in the Vatican papal
apartments in which Julius himself lived and
worked; these rooms are known simply as the
Stanze. The Stanza della Segnatura (1508-11)
and Stanza d'Eliodoro (1512-14) were decorated practically entirely by himself; the murals
in the Stanza dell'Incendio (1514-17), though designed by Raphael, were
largely executed by his numerous assistants and pupils. Last famous Raphael oil painting masterpiece is the Transfiguration (commissioned in 1517), an enormous altarpiece that was unfinished at his death and completed by his assistant Giulio Romano. |

It now hangs in
the Vatican Museum. The Transfiguration is a
complex work that combines extreme formal
polish and elegance of execution with an
atmosphere of tension and violence
communicated by the agitated gestures of
closely crowded groups of figures. It shows
a new sensibility that is like the prevision
of a new world, turbulent and dynamic; in
its feeling and composition it inaugurated
the Mannerist movement and tends toward an
expression that may even be called Baroque. Raphael died on his 37th birthday. His funeral mass was celebrated at the Vatican, his Transfiguration was placed at the head of the bier, and his body was buried in the Pantheon in Rome. |
