Abstract

The artist Raphael Sanzio is one of the most renowned artists in the history of art, praised of his ideal of perfection, beauty, and harmony that prompted the Italian High Renaissance to its very peak. Conventionally, investigation on Raphael’s influence as a master would center around his major art creations during the High Renaissance. This essay would also explore Raphael’s main achievements in the artistic sphere (including education, techniques, compositions, and aesthetic theories) and his social life during the High Renaissance as his present but would at the same time discuss the connection of his present to the past and future of the art community. In terms of the past during the Early Renaissance, this essay would elaborate on how past events of commercialization of economy triggers the dignified status of artists, compared to the status of craftsmen during the Middle Ages. Moreover, in terms of the future, this essay would depict Raphael’s influence and contribution to artistic movements surrounding the Academia and the modernists during the Early Modern period.
