= Raphael Sanzio =

On August 1st 1494
my mother died, then my father who was already re-married. I was a orphan by the time I was eleven. I then lived with my stepmother when not living as an apprentice with a master. I had already shown talent, according to Giorgio Vasari, who tells that I had been "a great help to his father". I drew a brilliant self-portrait drawing from my teenage years which shows my precocious talent for drawing.

He contributed to the Renaissance
because he brought to us marvellous painting and sculptors along with Leonardo de Vinci and Michelangelo. I think that this contribution was important because without Raphael or the others then our world today wouldn’t have discovered the beauty of art. No one would have even tried to paint something of change the way it looks if it weren’t for these people.

This picture shows that
This man was a gay artist who painted marvelous pictures and formed amazing sculptures and who looks confident in his work.
