II.     Florentine Period      A.     Study under Leonardo da Vinci      B.     Works that he did while in Florence.      C.     Interaction with Michelangelo and other artists. III.     Roman Period      A.     Worked for Pope Julius II in Rome.      B.     Worked for Pope Leo X in Rome as well.      C.     Worked on many papal buildings. IV.      Humanist      A.     Final Works.      B.     Feelings for nature and people. While we may term other works paintings. Those of Raphael are living things; the flesh palpitates, the breath comes and goes, every organ lives, life pulses everywhere (Vasari, Web Museum 1)      On April 6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy, a man of a new age came into the world, Raphael Sanzio. Starting in his most formable years, art and poetry came into his life by way of his father Giovanni, a court painter to the Duke of Urbino. Giovanni, the first actual master of Raphael, taught him about the arts and all of the components of painting. For the first ten years of his life his father influenced his feelings on the arts. In 1494, he traveled to Perugia to study under Peitro Perugino. Just as his father influenced his early life, his study in Perugia shaped his adolescence and ... ...ay; his works seem too perfect, too faultless for our slipshod age. Yet these great icons of human beauty can never fail to stir us: his Vatican murals can stand fearlessly beside the Sistine ceiling. The School of Athens, for example, monumentally immortalizing the great philosophers, is unrivaled in its classic grace. Raphael’s huge influence on successive artists is all the more impressive considering his short life (Web Museum 4).      The life of Raphael Sanzio stands alone in the spotlight; just as his masterpieces single him out in the world of art.
