Better Known as the ‘Raphael’ loggia, celebrating the Art of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (1483 - 1520), recognised as the supreme High Renaissance painter, but also architect, who more versatile than Michelangelo and more prolific than their older contemporary Leonardo, remains a paragon of classicism, who dominated the academic tradition of European painting until the mid-19th century.  Born in Urbino, where his father, Giovanni Santi, was court painter, he almost certainly began his training there, studying works by Mantegna, Uccello, and Piero della Francesca from an early age.  His earliest paintings were also greatly influenced by Perugino.  From 1500 - when he became an independent master - to 1508 he worked throughout central Italy, particularly Florence, where he became a noted portraitist and painter of Madonnas.

Commissioned by Empress Catherine II in the late 1780s, the Raphael Loggias are the exact copy of the Gallery in the Papal Palace in Vatican City.
