Raphael
| Biography |
| Raphael
was born in Italy in 1483. He was one of the great Italian Renaissance
painters. His paintings were often religious, and he decorated
much of the Vatican Palace. Perhaps his best-known work is School
of Athens, which depicts famous philosophers and is hanging
on the wall of every philosophy department at every college in
the United States and Europe. Raphael died in 1520, on his birthday
(although the calendar being used when he died was different than
the one used when he was born, so he actually died on the eve
of his birthday had the calendar not been changed in the 16th
century). |
