Rafael Santi - the greatest Italian painter, draftsman, architect of the Renaissance. The assessment of the creative activity of this "divine young man," who managed to accomplish so much, is evidenced by the fact that in the 19th century it was customary to divide the history of art into the period "before Raphael" and "after Raphael." The master's talent was especially pronounced in the images of his madonnas, which embodied the ideas of that era about the ideal of beauty, which became the personification of the joys and sorrows of motherhood, as well as in the fresco paintings of the Vatican Palace - genuine masterpieces of monumental painting of the Renaissance.
