Raphael Sanzio
Raphael Sanzio
(1483–1520)
Considered 1 of the 3 great masters trinity of the high renaissance along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. He was very influential, well known during his time and died at a very early age (37) on good friday (after a crazy night of sex with his mistress, after which he fell sick and did not want to tell doctors why so they gave him the wrong medicine which caused his death), but he was also very productive and an incredible amount of work of his still remains. He was also a well known architect. During his life he was the most famous of the 3 and remained so until recently when both Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci have received a lot of promotion.
