Portrait of Raphael, (c1518). The world-famous painter Raphael was endowed with a handsome appearance and great personal charm in addition to his prodigious artistic talents, and he eventually became so popular that he was called "the prince of painters". This print, which some authorities date to 1518, shows Raphael well into his thirties (famously and tragically, he died on his 37th birthday).
