Raphael, truly "Refined Raphael", embodies the High Renaissance style. His paintings are characterized by:
- Clarity and Harmony: Balanced compositions, graceful figures, and a sense of serene order.
- Idealized Beauty: Figures are depicted with classical proportions and an elegant, almost divine grace.
- Masterful Technique: Impeccable drawing, subtle use of color, and a seamless blend of forms.
- Humanism: Celebration of human intellect, dignity, and potential.
His themes often revolve around:
- Religious Scenes: Madonnas, Holy Families, and biblical narratives imbued with human emotion.
- Classical Subjects: Depictions of Greek philosophers and scholars, representing knowledge and wisdom.
- Portraits: Noble and idealized depictions of patrons and contemporaries.
