How Relevant Is Raphael? See 5 Contemporary Echoes of the Renaissance Paragon's Art
As one of the most lauded and recognizable painters of the High Renaissance, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (better known as simply Raphael)
is credited with laying much of the groundwork for the centuries of
artistic inspiration and innovation that followed in his wake. Works
like his School of Athens in the Vatican or Portrait of Pope Julius II
have been studied by millions of art lovers the world over, and his
influence, perhaps unsurprisingly, is still evident in the work of
today’s artists. These 10 pieces, excerpted from Phaidon’shistorical monograph Raphael and Artspace’s own inventory, show that the Old Master’s style and subject matter aren’t so different from his more modern followers.
