The Renaissance artist Raphael (1483–1520) was trained in both the Umbrian and Florentine schools, and along with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci has come to epitomize the Renaissance movement. Born in Urbino, Raphael became an orphan at the age of eleven. His father had been a court painter, and Raphael showed early talent while working in his workshop. He went on to work as an assistant to Pietro Perugino, and was considered fully trained by 1501. He further developed his style during his ‘Florentine period’ and later moved to Rome, where he received several important commissions and created some of his most stunning masterpieces.
