Though Raphael painted many important works in his Florence period, including his famous Madonnas, it was his mature work in Rome that cemented his place in history, most notably the <em>Stanza della Segnatura</em> in the Vatican featuring his <em>School of Athens</em> and <em>Triumph of Religion</em> murals. <br /> <br /> This overview traces the life’s work of this Renaissance master who achieved the height of greatness in only two decades of creation and whose influential work paved the way for the Mannerist and Baroque movements.</div> <div>  </div> <div id="series_text" style="display: block;"> <strong>About the Series:</strong><br /> Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series features:<ul> <li>a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance</li> <li>a concise biography</li> <li>approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions</li> </ul> </div>
