 Raphael - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raphael or Raffaello (April 6, 1483 – April 6, 1520) was a master painter and architect of the Florentine school in the Italian High Renaissance, celebrated for the perfection and softness of his paintings.
After his arrival in Rome portraits became a secondary task for Raphael as he devoted his efforts to the great Vatican projects, although he still painted portraits of his 2 main patrons, the two popes Julius II and his successor Leo X, the latter being considered one of his finest portraits.
It is possible that Raphael saw the finished series before his death — they were completed in 1520 for Leo X.

 Biography
Raphael delegated his assistants to decorate the third room, the Stanze dell'Incendio, with the exception of one fresco, the Fire in the Borgo, in which his pursuit of more dramatic pictorial incidents and his continuing study of the male nude are plainly apparent.
Raphael's last masterpiece is the Transfiguration (commissioned in 1517), an enormous altarpiece that was unfinished at his death and completed by his assistant Giulio Romano.
Raphael was particularly influenced by Leonardo's Madonna and Child with St. Anne pictures, which are marked by an intimacy and simplicity of setting uncommon in 15th-century art.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Raphael (1483-1520)
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.
It is probable that Bramante who, like Raphael, was a native of Urbino, actively furthered his young townsman's interest with the pope, and caused him to be received among the inner circle of artists whom Julius II had engaged for the works in his palace.
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.

Although Raphael changed the composition to a horizontal format to fit the dado space, the center section with Abraham standing over a nude and bound Isaac accompanied by two angels is esssentially identical in conception.
Isaac is played by a young man who is stripped of his clothes by his father and placed upon the altar, his hands bound behind his back.

Her chariot had been driving from left to right with her veil blowing backwards, but, hearing the strange love song, she turns round and smiles, and all the lines in the picture, from the love-gods' arrows to the reins she holds, converge on her beautiful face in the very center of the picture.
It is for this supreme mastery of arranging his figures, this consummate skill in composition, that artists have admired Raphael ever since.
To some extent, then, Raphael, like his teacher Perugino, had abandoned the faithful portrayal of nature which had been the ambition of so many Quattrocento artists.

He reminds us that the most "profound" element of Raphael's art was his striving to express in his work the dialectic between earthly and heavenly love, which was an important concern of his contemporaries The coverage of the text extends beyond the paintings to Raphael's significant work as an architect and designer of interiors.
Described as "an artist touched by grace," Raphael is considered along with Michelangelo and Leonardo to be one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance.
He arrived in Florence in 1504, where he studied the masters: Masaccio, Ghirlandaio, Leonardo and produced magnificent paintings of the Madonna as well as remarkable portraits; in 1508 he went to Rome, where he died a dozen years later at the height of his powers, after creating monumental works at the Vatican.

 Raphael (archangel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name of the archangel Raphael appears only in the Book of Tobit (Tobias).
Regarding the healing powers attributed to Raphael, we have little more than his declaration to Tobit (Tobit, 12) that he was sent by the Lord to heal him of his blindness and to deliver Sarah, his daughter-in-law, from the devil that was the serial killer of her husbands.
There he first appears disguised in human form as the travelling companion of the younger Tobias, calling himself "Azarias the son of the great Ananias".

When Tobias and his new bride return to his father, Raphael tells him how to cure Tobit's blindness.

The conjecture is based on the meaning of Raphael's name -- "God has healed" -- and on his role as healer in Tobit.
