In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on an \u003cstrong\u003eunsurpassed variety of themes\u003c\/strong\u003e - from sensual female beauties, antique myths and portraits of wealthy Romans and church dignitaries to history cycles and biblical scenes. He produced altarpieces, as well as designing tapestries for the Sistine Chapel.

He transformed his central theme, the \u003cstrong\u003evisionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality\u003c\/strong\u003e. It was his \u003cstrong\u003emature work in Rome\u003c\/strong\u003e, and above all the frescoes in the Vatican Palace, that secured him his place in art history. Admired even during his own lifetime as the \u003cstrong\u003emost modern artist of his day\u003c\/strong\u003e, Raphael's mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47772898427031,"sku":"9783754403471","price":2232.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783754403471.webp?v=1777976524","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/raphael-paintings-frescoes-tapestries-45th-ed-9783754403471","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
