His classicism and variety of madonnas are still lauded throughout the art world. He also created a work of art for the Palace of the Vatican in Rome, Italy. Born to a painter, Rafael began his craft at a young age. He was Perugino’s apprentice before taking a cue from da Vinci, Michelangelo, and the like. He is most famous for his fresco painting.
