520    An authoritative introduction to one of the most 
       influential painters in the history of art, written by the
       pre-eminent authority on the subject and informed by the 
       latest research. More versatile and less idiosyncratic 
       than Michelangelo, more prolific and accessible than his 
       mentor Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, though he died at only 
       thirty-seven, is considered the single most influential 
       artist of the Renaissance. Here, art historian Paul 
       Joannides explores the different social and regional 
       contexts of Raphael's work and discusses all aspects of 
       his artistic output. He traces Raphael's career from his 
       origins in Urbino, through his altarpieces made in Umbria 
       in the shadow of Perugino, to the first flowering of his 
       genius in Florence where he painted a series of iconic 
       Madonnas that are among the most beloved images in Western
       art. Raphael's employment by the dynamic and demanding 
       Pope Julius II gave him opportunities without parallel and
       encouraged the full expansion of his genius. As a 
       sophisticate entrepreneur, he dominated Rome's artistic 
       life and extended the range of his activities to that of 
       architect, designer, pioneer archeologist and 
       theoretician. The foundation of Raphael's versatility and 
       range was his supreme clarity of mind as a draftsman. 
       Knowledge of his drawings, on which Joannides is a leading
       expert, is central to understanding of his achievement, 
       and they are thoroughly explored here.
