And birthday? Lol I think not. My birthday was a couple days ago how did you know. My senior english teacher will get a kick out of it. As an artist, I always found Raphael inspiring, and have pulled a lot of methods from his work.
Really cool dude. Raphael was a great artist and still remains well known today, the fact that art can live on while the creator does not is inspiring. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Art History U.

Raphael was soon placed in charge of all papal projects involving architecture, paintings, decoration, and the preservation of antiquities. His untimely death at the age of thirty-seven, Vasari said, "plunged into grief the entire papal court"; the Pope, who "wept bitterly when he died, had intended making him a Cardinal.
Field Projects Dept. Science Dept. Meanwhile, Raphael's decoration of the papal apartments continued after the death of Julius in and into the succeeding pontificate of Leo X until In contrast to the generalized allegories in the Stanza della Segnatura, the decorations in the second room, the Stanza d'Eliodoro, portray specific miraculous events in the history of the Christian church.
These frescoes are deeper and richer in colour than are those in the earlier room, and they display a new boldness on Raphael's part in both their dramatic subjects and their unusual effects of light. The Liberation of St Peter, for example, is a night scene and contains three separate lighting effects - moonlight, the torch carried by a soldier, and the supernatural light emanating from an angel.
Raphael delegated his assistants to decorate the third room, the Stanze dell'Incendio, with the exception of one fresco, the Fire in the Borgo, in which his pursuit of more dramatic pictorial incidents and his continuing study of the male nude are plainly apparent. The Madonnas that Raphael painted in Rome show him turning away from the serenity and gentleness of his earlier works in order to emphasize qualities of energetic movement and grandeur.
His Alba Madonna ; National Gallery, Washington epitomizes the serene sweetness of the Florentine Madonnas but shows a new maturity of emotional expression and supreme technical sophistication in the poses of the figures.
It was followed by the Madonna di Foligno ; Vatican Museum and the Sistine Madonna ; Gemaldegalerie, Dresden , which show both the richness of colour and new boldness in compositional invention typical of Raphael's Roman period. Some of his other late Madonnas, such as the Madonna of Francis I Louvre , are remarkable for their polished elegance.
Besides his other accomplishments, Raphael became the most important portraitist in Rome during the first two decades of the 16th century. He introduced new types of presentation and new psychological situations for his sitters, as seen in the portrait of Leo X with Two Cardinals ; Uffizi, Florence. Raphael's finest work in the genre is perhaps the Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione ; Louvre , a brilliant and arresting character study. Leo X commissioned Raphael to design 10 large tapestries to hang on the walls of the Sistine Chapel.
Seven of the ten cartoons full-size preparatory drawings were completed by , and the tapestries woven after them were hung in place in the chapel by The tapestries themselves are still in the Vatican, while seven of Raphael's original cartoons are in the British royal collection and are on view at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. In these pictures Raphael created prototypes that would influence the European tradition of narrative history painting for centuries to come.
The cartoons display Raphael's keen sense of drama, his use of gestures and facial expressions to portray emotion, and his incorporation of credible physical settings from both the natural world and that of ancient Roman architecture. While he was at work in the Stanza della Segnatura, Raphael also did his first architectural work, designing the church of Sant' Eligio degli Orefici. In the banker Agostino Chigi, whose Villa Farnesina Raphael had already decorated, commissioned him to design and decorate his funerary chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Popolo.
In Leo X chose him to work on the basilica of St Peter's alongside Bramante; and when Bramante died later that year, Raphael assumed the direction of the work, transforming the plans of the church from a Greek, or radial, to a Latin, or longitudinal, design.
Raphael was also a keen student of archaeology and of ancient Greco-Roman sculpture, echoes of which are apparent in his paintings of the human figure during the Roman period.
In Leo X put him in charge of the supervision of the preservation of marbles bearing valuable Latin inscriptions; two years later he was appointed commissioner of antiquities for the city, and he drew up an archaeological map of Rome.
Raphael had by this time been put in charge of virtually all of the papacy's various artistic projects in Rome, involving architecture, paintings and decoration, and the preservation of antiquities. Raphael's last masterpiece is the Transfiguration commissioned in , 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. Artinvest , International Arts Portal. Raphael's death and Funeral. According to Vasari , Raphael's premature death on Good Friday April 6, , which was possibly his 37th birthday, was caused by a night of excessive sex with Luti, after which he fell into a fever and, not telling his doctors that this was its cause, was given the wrong cure, which killed him.
Vasari also says that Raphael had also been born on a Good Friday, which in fell on March Whatever the cause, in his acute illness, which lasted fifteen days, Raphael was composed enough to receive the last rites, and to put his affairs in order. He dictated his will, in which he left sufficient funds for his mistress's care, entrusted to his loyal servant Baviera, and left most of his studio contents to Giulio Romano and Penni. At his request, Raphael was buried in the Pantheon. His funeral was extremely grand, attended by large crowds.
The inscription in his marble sarcophagus, an elegiac distich written by Pietro Bembo , a Venetian writer associated with the Court of Urbino who later became a cardinal, reads: "Ille hic est Raffael, timuit quo sospite vinci, rerum magna parens et moriente mori", meaning: " Here lies that famous Raphael by whom Nature feared to be conquered while he lived, and when he was dying, feared herself to die.
