RAPHAEL SANZIO
By: Abby Cline
EARLY LIFE
 Raphael Sanzio was born on April 6, 1432 in Urbino, Italy.
 Raphael's father was Giovanni Santi, a court painter who gave him
most of his experience as an artist.
 In 1491, his mother Magia de Batista Ciarla died when Raphael was
only eight years old. His father remarried but later died in 1494. He was
orphaned at the age of 11.
 Raphael’s uncle, Bartolomeo became his legal guardian. Although he
became his legal guardian he began living with his stepmother.
EARLY LIFE
 Urbino, Italy was a town that had high regards for the arts.
 After his fathers death he served as an apprentice for many different master
painters
 One of the most significant masters Raphael served for was Perugia. Under his
instruction he learned to clear the organization of the subject of matter, overall
composition, and editing skills.
 He was trained as a master at the age of eighteen.
 His first major work was the Baronci altarpiece for the Saint Nicholas Church in
Citta di Castello.
MAJOR WORKS
Baronci Altarpiece- This altarpiece was
created for Andrea Barconi’s chapel the church
of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino in Citta di
Castello. It was Raphael's first documented
work. It was commissioned in 1500 and
finished in 1501. This piece was severely
damaged in an earthquake in 1789 fragments
of this piece are located in different areas. This
work relates to the renaissance because it’s a
painting where the figure looks idealized, the
bodies are clothed, and the face expresses what
the person is thinking. In this picture the
person depicted seems doleful or disappointed.
MAJOR WORKS
Madonna on the Chair- This piece
was painted with oil on wood by
Raphael in 1514. Raphael painted this
piece in Rome and it later became apart
of the Medici family’s art collection. He
painted this piece shortly after working
on the Vatican “Stanza d'Eliodoro.”
This relates to Renaissance themes
because forms of art were usually
paintings that depicted religious scene,
bodies that look idealized, bodies that
are clothed. All of these characteristics
fit this piece of art.
LIFESTYLE AND
RELATIONSHIPS
 Lived in a large Roman Palace.
 Engaged to Maria Bibbiena the niece of a cardinal (Arranged).
 Never was able to become engaged due to the death or Maria.
 After Maria’s Death had a long-lasting relationship with Margherita
Luti.
 He is said to have had many affairs.
DEATH
 Raphael Sanzio died unexpectedly on his thirty-seventh birthday
(April 6, 1520 A.D.) of mysterious causes in Rome. There were many
people who attended his funeral. He was buried in the Pantheon one
of Italy’s most popular burial sites.
