This week we will meet Raphael. We’ll start in his birthplace and follow his travels and growth from a young orphan to an independent master. From Urbino, to Umbria, to Florence, and finally to Rome, we’ll see how his self-education prepared him for painting in the papal palace.

Listen to the discussion recorded on May 6, 2021, with Professor Ingrid Rowland about Raphael’s formation and what he may have known about the subjects he was asked to paint.
