Raphael was one of the three most influential artists of the High Renaissance. (I mean come on, along with Leonardo, they had Ninja Turtles named after them for Pete's sake!) Pope Julius II commissioned Raphael and Michelangelo to paint frescoes him. Both artists were painting their iconic masterpieces at about the same time. Michelangelo's in the Sistine Chapel and Raphael's in the Papal Suite in what would be a library for Pope Julius II.
