Ralpheal (Raffaello Sanzio)
                                                                                    1483- 1520
Ralphael was born in 1483 in the town of Urbino. During the Renaissance he was the youngest of three major artist (Leonardo di Vinci and Michelangelo). His dad gave him the first lessons about painting. Urbino (his home town) was  a seat of warfare but that didn't  stop him from paintng and following his heart. When Ralphael turned seven-teen his dad wanted him to be a apprentice so he sent him to Perugia , under the highly-regarded Perugino. For the years he spent there he leaned as much as he could with no complains orproblems. 

 In his early work his stayed faithful to the Perugino School. He was much like Perugino that some work was hard to tell who was the artist, Perguino or young Ralphael. Later in the years he changed his style after noticing the work of Leonardo and Michelanelo. Bearing a letter of recomadation  from the Duches of Montefeltro to the gonfalonier Sodeni, Ralphael went to Florenece in 1504. At the age of 21 the intense debating must have made a forceful impression on his life. During this time Leonarda had come back and finshed Mona Lisa, and Michelangelo had just finished David.

Mihelangelo had influenced this young painter from Urbino with his painting. In 1541 Michelangelo said in a letter that "everything he knew about art he got from me" which he said way after Ralpheal's death. After Bramante died in 1514  Ralpheal was appointed  St. Peter's architect, he aso was involved with ruins in Rome. He died on April 6, 1520, Good Friday ( possible his 37 birthday).  His death was cause by a sickness from explicit events.

Some of his most famous works were School of Athens, Ttiumph of Galatea, The Holy Family, and The vergin with a Veil.Madonna of the Goldfinch was another  great painting Ralpel had created.
