ART POST

                                                                        Raphael Sanzio
Born on April 6th 1483 in Urbino
Died on April 6th 1520 in Rome
Painted during the time of the High Renaissance.

What I love about Raphael Sanzio is how realistic the people in his drawings are you can see with some of the pictures that he draws with babies you can actually feel the weight of the chubby babies that he draws. You would call it the 3d paintings of back then or something like that. He especially liked to draw a plentiful amount of religious paintings.

In Raphaels marriage of the virgin his people are so much more realistic looking then the other paintings of the marriage of the virgin and even when compared to his teacher he beat his teachers drawing of the marriage of the virgin. All of the people in the painting are well painted and he drew in the details clearly and its as if they were there in real life.

What this painting means to me is that we don't have the same kinds of marriages as we did back then they were a little less celebrated from what i can tell. That is what this wonderful beautifully drawn painting means to me that there is a difference between the marriages back then and the marriages in the 21st century.

After reading all of Raphael's biography i want to go to the museums that have his paintings because of how amazing they are they have all kinds of meanings i just want to see them all i also want to read about some of the religious events that he drew so that i can get an even deeper understanding for his pictures like the one that i had with the picture shown above the virgins marriage.
