A few words on Raffaello - He came from a well-off family as most of the Reneissance artists who could afford to spend their lives painting extremely sophisticated religious icons.
Raffaello's distinctive trait is the grace he injects in his ethereal paintings. Madonna has never been more beautiful than under his brusher: 
A bitter competitor of Michelangelo and an admirer of Leonardo, Raffaello's artistic path does not diverge from the other talented painters of his time: from Urbino, he moved to Florence and finally to Rome where he worked on frescoes in the papal apartments (today the Vatican Museums). The school of Athens is one of his most accomplished art-works - the perfect synthesis of the classic world and its philosophical debate.
