Raphael quotes
Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, celebrated for his graceful compositions and artistic mastery. His work greatly influenced the development of Western art, particularly in the use of perspective and harmony. He is renowned for masterpieces such as the frescoes in the Vatican and his iconic Madonnas. Here are 2 of his quotes:
Most Holy Father, there are many who, on bringing their feeble judgment to bear on what is written concerning the great achievements of the Romans - the feats of arms, the city of Rome and the wondrous skill shown in the opulence, ornamentation and grandeur of their buildings - have come to the conclusion that these achievements are more likely to be fables than facts. I, however, have always seen - and still do see -things differently. For, bearing in mind the divine quality of the ancients' minds as revealed in the remains still to be seen among the ruins of Rome, I do not find it unreasonable to believe that much of what we consider impossible seemed, to them, exceedingly simple.
