Celebrating Raphael: A Master of the Renaissance

Though his exact birthdate remains uncertain—traditionally marked as April 6, 1483, but sometimes noted as March 28—Raphael's legacy is anything but unclear. Revered for his graceful figures, balanced compositions, and emotional depth, he remains one of the most influential painters of the High Renaissance.

Where to see Raphael’s masterpieces in Italy:

*️⃣Vatican Museums, Rome – The School of Athens
A stunning fresco that places classical philosophers in a grand architectural setting, this work is a cornerstone of Renaissance art and can be found in the Raphael Rooms of the Apostolic Palace.

*️⃣Villa Farnesina, Rome – The Triumph of Galatea
Myth and movement come together in this vibrant fresco, filled with flowing forms and dynamic energy.

*️⃣Galleria Borghese, Rome – The Deposition
A deeply moving portrayal of Christ’s removal from the cross, showcasing Raphael’s skill in conveying emotion and form.

*️⃣Uffizi Gallery, Florence – Madonna of the Goldfinch
This tender and serene scene of the Madonna with the infant Christ and John the Baptist captures Raphael’s early mastery.

*️⃣Urbino – Raphael’s birthplace
While no major works remain in this picturesque hill town, walking its quiet streets offers a glimpse into the artist’s early world.

Raphael died on April 6, 1520—possibly on his 37th birthday—leaving behind a legacy that would influence generations of artists to come.

Have you ever been moved by a monument? In Lucerne, the Lion Monument carved into a sandstone cliff is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Created in 1821 by Bertel Thorvaldsen, this powerful sculpture commemorates the heroic Swiss Guards who fell defending the French royalty in 1792.

Mark Twain famously described it as “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.” The raw emotion etched into the lion’s face speaks volumes about loyalty and sacrifice.
