Raphael

Renaissance Masters: Raphael traces the rise of the Renaissance’s most graceful and beloved painter. From his early life in Urbino to his artistic breakthroughs in Florence, this season explores how Raphael absorbed the lessons of his time and transformed them into a uniquely harmonious style. We follow his journey to Rome, where he dazzled the papal court with his frescoes in the Vatican Stanze—works that blended classical ideals with human emotion. Along the way, we uncover the friendships, influences, and quiet determination that made Raphael the “Prince of Painters.”
