Paintings of the World - Raphael - Part 1

Here we see a selection of Raphael's work, including: The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament (1511), Rescue of Moses out of the water (1519), Portrait of Bindo Altoviti (1515), Portrait of Pope Julius II (1512), Portrait of young Pietro Bembo (1504), and Self-portrait (1506).

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
