Add to basketRaphael (1483-1520) is considered the most important artist of the Italian High Renaissance alongside Michelangelo and Leonardo. In his short lifetime he created around one hundred paintings and numerous frescoes, including nine fresco cycles, on an unsurpassed variety of themes - 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. His Sistine Madonna is one of the most frequently reproduced religious paintings of all time. Raphael was a tireless learner, for whom there could be no standing still, no repetition of tried and tested solutions, but only the constant forward thrust of an inexhaustible imagination. He transformed his central theme, the visionary experience of divine grace, into visible pictorial reality. It was his mature work in Rome, 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 most modern artist of his day, Raphael's mastery would pave the way for Mannerism and the Baroque era.

Junto con Miguel Ángel y Leonardo, Rafael (1483-1520) fue uno de los artistas más importantes del Alto Renacimiento italiano. En su breve vida realizó alrededor de 100 pinturas y nueve ciclos de frescos en los que abordó una variedad de temas inigualable: desde sensuales bellezas femeninas, mitos antiguos y retratos hasta ciclos históricos y escenas bíblicas. También realizó retablos y diseñó tapices para la Capilla Sixtina. Su Madonna Sixtina es una de las pinturas religiosas más reproducidas de todos los tiempos.
Rafael fue un aprendiz infatigable que no concebía la autocomplacencia ni se limitaba a repetir soluciones ya intentadas y comprobadas, sino que seguía únicamente el constante impulso hacia adelante de una imaginación inagotable. Transformó su tema central, la experiencia visionaria de la gracia divina, en una realidad pictórica visible. En especial su obra madura en Roma y sobre todo los frescos en el palacio Apostólico del Vaticano le aseguraron un lugar en la historia del arte. Admirado ya en vida como el artista más moderno de su tiempo, la maestría de Rafael allanaría el camino para el manierismo y la época barroca.
Michael Rohlmann obtuvo su doctorado con una tesis sobre la importación de pintura holandesa temprana a la Florencia del Primer Renacimiento. Consiguió la plaza de profesor universitario con una tesis sobre la decoración pictórica de la Capilla Sixtina. Ha escrito numerosas obras sobre la pintura italiana y francesa de la Edad Moderna. Enseña Historia del Arte en la Universidad de Colonia y en la Universidad de Wuppertal.
