Raphael

Raphael was one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance, born in 1483 in Italy. He learned painting from his father, who was a court painter, as well as good manners. Raphael went on to produce famous works during the Renaissance, which valued more realistic and emotionally expressive art. His last painting, the Transfiguration, is considered his spiritual testament. Raphael received major commissions in Florence and Rome, including portraits of religious figures like Pope Julius II, and mythological works depicting stories from Ovid.

RAPHAEL SANZIO

RAPHAEL

• Raphael is known as one of the three greatest artists of the


Italian Renaissance
• He was born in Italy in 1483
• His father was the court painter for the Duke in Umbria.
Raphael learned not only about painting from his father but
also how to behave using excellent manners and social skills.

This is the face from the first work that we are ceratin
that Raphael worked on
ITALIAN RENAISSANCE

• The Renaissance speaks of a time when interest in art and


science are renewed after the hard years of the Middle Ages.
• Art became more realistic, and artists began painting pictures
of all kind of things - even things that had nothing to do with
religion.
• Artists would paint pictures of nature, and when they painted
people, they really tried to show their subjects emotions
THE TRANSFIGURATION

• The altarpiece illustrates two episodes narrated in succession in the


Gospel according to Matthew: the Transfiguration above, with Christ in
glory between the prophets Moses and Elijah, and below, in the
foreground, the meeting of the Apostles with the obsessed youth who will
be miraculously cured by Christ on his return from Mount Tabor.
• This is Raphael's last painting and appears as the spiritual testament of
the artist.
• The work is considered in his biography, written by the famous artist and
biographer of the 16th century, Giorgio Vasari, "the most famous, the most
beautiful and most divine".
ST MICHAEL VANQUISHING
SATAN

• This painting is one of the biggest achievements of Raphael while he was


in Florence. It received massive recognition and great acknowledgements
throughout the years. This marked a great transition of his painting skills
to a more prolific level with a sense of style and human touch in it.
• In the painting, the use of colour combination skills are not minimal.
There is an overuse of certain colours to come up with a less clear view.
This has been achieved by the intense use of black to create a smoky
effect. There is more gold paint being used on the characters making
them less human-like.
PORTRAIT OF POPE JULIUS
II

• Pope Julius II remained in history as the largest patron of the High


Renaissance. It is to him that we owe the appearance of such
masterpieces as St. Peter's Basilica, ceiling of the sistine chapel
Raphael's frescoes in Vatican stanzas
• In the portrait of Raphael, the aged Julius II looks like a model of
Christian humility, his lips are tightly pressed, and his eyes are
lowered with an expression of deepness and moderation
TRIUMPH OF
GALATEA

• Ovid, in his Metamorphoses, tells the story of the mortal peasant


shepherd, Acis, who falls in love with Galatea, a Nereid or water
nymph, whose Greek name translates as ‘she who is milk white’.
The jealous Cyclops, Polyphemus, bludgeoned Acis with a
boulder and, in response, a distraught Galatea transformed him
into the Sicilian river that bears his name.
• Raphael’s Triumph of Galatea, a fresco created around 1512 for
the Villa Farnesina in Rome
