Raphael Sanzio (1483-152)

One of the greatest Italian Renaissance painters; Raphael, deified by his superb artistic attainments, represents the highest peak that artists can achieve in the cause of ideal beauty during the Renaissance.

Although Raphael's life is as short as Mozart's (there are many similarities between their lives), there are many legends and examples about him. On the one hand, these legends and examples affirm the indisputable talent of the painter, on the other hand, they may also hinder the understanding of the painter. When Raphael is mentioned, the artistic style of Raphael is always inseparable from the adjectives of "extraordinary" and "perfect", which began in vasari. This makes it impossible for the general public to deeply understand and communicate with Raphael (one of the greatest painters in the world art history) and immediately separate Raphael's works from those crappy works that always want to be advertised with words such as "genius" and "genius expression", so as to appreciate life in his works.

Raphael's works fully embody tranquility, harmony, coordination, symmetry and perfect and quiet order-in this sense, his works can indeed be called "the pinnacle of humanism and the Renaissance world". What people often forget or ignore is that Raphael climbed to the top in the center of history, in a series of major events and a certain ideological trend that only lasted for a short time. The creator of this miracle is a young man, and this young man can't compete with the two greatest masters-Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The three people lived in the same age. Raphael found the "third way", which is the synthesis and transcendence of all the artistic achievements of his time. This is Raphael's glory and historical role, which he obtained by virtue of art and thought, hard work and rationality, and through unremitting examination, experience and thinking. His success is attributed to his extraordinary talent: refining and digesting any kind of inspiration and enlightenment from the lofty revolutionary era of art (from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 16th century). This shows his great wisdom and superb harmonic creation. This ability is really unusual.
