	Raphael
		Raphael wished to display all his knowledge and resources, uniting on the same canvas the qualities of the two masters of the "cartoons" of the Signory, the men whom he most admired and who tantalized him most, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.
		"Raphael's Bible", as it is often called, is a series of epic miniatures, the clearness of interpretation of which rivals their simplicity, perfect equilibrium of arrangement, charm of motifs, and grace of style.
		Raphael was therefore not sufficiently careful of his reputation when he confided his most original inspirations to his pupils, for they lost in being expressed by others.

	MyStudios- Raphael Sanzio
		Raphael's color and the emotional qualities of his work always remained within the tradition of Central Italian painting, while his sense of composition and the dynamic power of his draughtsmanship were learned from the Florentines.
		By 1508 Raphael was receiving offers from both the French court and the Pope; late in that year he went to Rome to take part in the grandiose decorative schemes of Pope Julius II for the new Papal apartments in the Vatican.
		Raphael's response to the enormous artistic challenge his part of the scheme presented is also one of those astonishing 'leaps forward' in art history and is matched, perhaps, only by Masaccio's painting of the frescoes in the Carmine church, Florence, 100 years earlier, and the exactly contemporary (1508-12) frescoes of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.

		Raphael, who was courtesy itself, in order not to be surpassed in kindness, did two pictures for him in a transitional style between the early manner of Pietro and of the other which he learned afterwards, and which was much better, as I shall relate.
		Raphael also drew some mace-bearers accompanying the Pope, who are very life-like, and the horses they ride, with the court of the cardinals and other bearers, holding the llackney, upon which the man in pontificals is mounted, who is a portrait of Leo X., as fine as the others, and many courtiers.

		In 1514, Raphael was appointed general overseer of works by Leo X, conducted in 1519 the excavations of ancient Rome, and found it difficult to carry out all his undertakings.
		Giulio is also responsible for the brick-coloured tones and plaster flesh-tints of the men and women in Raphael's later works, the artistic defects of which are in many cases entirely due to Giulio.
		Unlike Raphael's "Galatea" and his "Three Graces", examples of Elysian happiness in a race in the state of innocence, Giulio's decorations resemble saturnalia of lubricity itself.

		Here we see Raphael's enigmatic Double Portrait and Velazquez's vibrant image of a scarlet-clad, knowing-faced Pope Innocent X. The ornate villa of the fabulous Medici family is another of our visits by private appointment (its egg-shell blue outer walls contrasting with Rome's ubiquitous ochres and terracottas, which were a Napoleonic innovation).
		The airy, hilltop Villa Farnesina was commissioned early in the 16th century by another tycoon, Sienese banker Agostino Chigi, as a banqueting house for popes and princes, and a love nest for himself and his lover, Imperia, who lives on as one of Raphael's Three Graces in the villa's Loggia of Cupid and Psyche.
