	Raphael - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raphael or Raffaello (Urbino, Italy, April 6, 1483–Rome, April 6, 1520) was a master painter and architect of the Florentine school in the Italian High Renaissance, celebrated for the perfection and softness of his paintings.
		Raphael’s prestige even gave his works a role in the creation and strengthening of political alliances, as in the cases of the works now in the Louvre, which were sent to the French court, and in the Portrait of Lorenzo de Medici for the Florentine party.
		Raphael never married, even though sources reveal that in 1514 he was betrothed to Maria Bibbiena, niece of a cardinal, but the engagement was ended by the premature death of the girl.

		Raphael created The Marriage of the Virgin before he was even 21 years old, and he was still Perugino’s apprentice.
		In 1508, at the age of 24, Raphael was invited to the Vatican by Pope Julius II.
		Raphael was summoned to the Vatican to paint things like stanzas, and was probably recommended to the pope by Domato Bramante, an architect.

		It is clear from this that Raphael had already given proof of his mastery, so much so that between 1501 and 1503 he received a rather important commission, to paint the Coronation of the Virgin for the Oddi Chapel in the church of San Francesco, Perugia (and now in the Vatican Museum, Rome).
		Raphael followed the Perugian painter Bernardino Pinturicchio to Siena and then went on to Florence, drawn there by accounts of the work that Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were undertaking in that city.
		Raphael's last masterpiece is the Transfiguration which was commissioned in 1517, an enormous altarpiece that was unfinished at his death and completed by his assistant Giulio Romano.

	Biography
		Raphael was particularly influenced by Leonardo's Madonna and Child with St. Anne pictures, which are marked by an intimacy and simplicity of setting uncommon in 15th-century art.
		Raphael was called to Rome toward the end of 1508 by Pope Julius II at the suggestion of the architect Donato Bramante.
		Raphael delegated his assistants to decorate the third room, the Stanze dell'Incendio, with the exception of one fresco, the Fire in the Borgo, in which his pursuit of more dramatic pictorial incidents and his continuing study of the male nude are plainly apparent.

		Artist: The father of Raphael (1483-1520), Giovanni Santi (active 1469-1494), was a painter, poet and chronicler in Urbino connected to the brilliant court of the Montefeltro family.
		Raphael's Mond Crucifixion (1503), in the National Gallery, and his Marriage of the Virgin (1504), done when he was 20 and 21, are perfect summations of the Renaissance.
		Raphael's Vatican frescoes have the freedom and grandeur of the architectural paintings he had seen by Leonardo and Michelangelo, but with an un-Florentine sense of harmony.

		Raphael was born Raffaello Santi or Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino on April 6, 1483, and received his early training in art from his father, the painter Giovanni Santi.
		Raphael imitated his master closely; their paintings of this period are executed in styles so similar that art historians have found it difficult to determine which were painted by Raphael.
		Among Raphael's independent works executed at Perugia are two large-scale paintings, the celebrated Sposalizio, or Marriage of the Virgin (1504, Brera Gallery, Milan), and The Crucified Christ with the Virgin Mary, Saints and Angels (1503?, National Gallery, London).

	Reading Images - Raphael's Biography
		From 1504 to 1508 Raphael lived in Florence; this experience would prove decisive in the maturation of his career, as exposure to the art of Leonardo and Michelangelo led him to develop a grandiose, powerful approach.
		After the Stanza della Segnatura Raphael’s popularity was ensured; he was inundated with commissions, both public and private, from the highest levels of Roman society.
		The clarity of the psychological relationships is typical of Raphael, while the complexity of the poses and irregularity of the space suggest the seeds of the Mannerist style that would dominate Italian painting after his death.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is the consent that makes a marriage a consent to carnal intercourse? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Augustine (De Bono Viduit ix)] says that "for those who have vowed virginity it is wicked, not only to marry, but even to wish to marry." But it would not be wicked unless it were contrary to virginity, and marriage is not contrary to virginity except by reason of carnal intercourse.
		Therefore the marriage consent is a consent to carnal intercourse.
		Marriage begun corresponds to marriage consummated, as habit or power corresponds to the act which is operation.

	Raphael
		Raphael's father was (in Giorgio's words) a painter “of no great merit, but of good intelligence,” who was the first of many teachers to give him painting lessons, and who was presumably the one who got Raphael interested in painting in the first place.
		Raphael made a number of paintings for private clients, including the long series of Madonna paintings (paintings of the Virgin Mary) and portraits of many different people (the most famous being Agnolo Doni and Maddalena, who was his wife).
		Raphael further developed his depth and space-usage techniques, and more importantly created a new color method that he used on many of his pieces, which was similar to that of Leonardo's style.

	Legends of the Madonna - The Marriage of the Virgin
		The Virgin, a most graceful figure, but rather too old, stands at-tended by her maidens ; St. Joseph holds his wand with the flower and the holy Dove resting on it ; one of the disappointed suitors is about to strike him; another breaks his wand against his knee.
		Among the relics venerated in the cathedral of Perugia is the nuptial ring of the blessed Virgin ; and for the altar of the sacrament there Perugino painted the appropriate subject of the Marriage of the Virgin.
		Be-hind Mary is a group of the virgins of the temple ; behind Joseph the group of disappointed suitors ; one of whom, in the act of breaking his wand against his knee, a singularly graceful figure, seen more in front and richly dressed, is perhaps the despairing youth mentioned in the legend.

	Spozalizio (The Engagement of Virgin Mary) by RAFFAELLO Sanzio
		The panel (signed and dated: "RAPHAEL URBINAS MDIIII.") was commissioned by the Albizzini family for the chapel of St Joseph in the church of S. Francesco of the Minorities at Città di Castello.
		The main figures stand in the foreground: Joseph is solemnly placing the ring on the Virgin's finger, and holding the flowering staff, the symbol that he is the chosen one, in his left hand.
		The structure of Raphael's painting, which includes figures in the foreground and a centralized building in the background, can certainly be compared to the two Perugino paintings.

		The Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery in London does not extol his skills as an architect in the true tradition of the Renaissance.
		But while Perugino was formally static in his composition, Raphael by contrast draws out the viewer, as in the 16-sided temple in his 'Marriage of the Virgin'.
		But to comprehend fully Raphael's true brilliance we need especially to be aware of his underlying proficiency in the specific realm of architectural composition, especially among his peers.

	SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Was there true marriage between Mary and Joseph? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Further, on Mt. 1:16: "Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary," Jerome says: "When thou readest 'husband' suspect not a marriage; but remember that Scripture is wont to speak of those who are betrothed as husband and wife." But a true marriage is not effected by the betrothal, but by the wedding.
		Thus we may say, as to the first perfection, that the marriage of the Virgin Mother of God and Joseph was absolutely true: because both consented to the nuptial bond, but not expressly to the bond of the flesh, save on the condition that it was pleasing to God.
		The fact of her marriage is declared, not to insinuate the loss of virginity, but to witness to the reality of the union." Nevertheless, this marriage had the second perfection, as to upbringing of the child.
