拉斐尔被誉为意大利文艺复兴三杰之一，怀抱着新柏拉图主义艺术理想，以其洗练的画技，将文艺复兴的人文主义发挥到极致。虽然他留下的作品不多，其作品所展现的光华，影响后世甚远。拉斐尔从前代艺术大师们画风的技法中撷取养分，幻化出柔和、圆润、饱满的调和之美。那么，拉斐尔的英文介绍是怎么写的呢？About Raphael关于拉斐尔Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino better known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, celebrated for the perfection and grace of his paintings and drawings. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop, and despite his death at thirty-seven, a large body of his work remains. Many of his works are found in the Apostolic Palace of The Vatican, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. The best known work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome, much of his work was designed by him and executed largely by the workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael’s more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models. His career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, first described by Giorgio Vasari: his early years in Umbria, then a period of about four years (from 1504–1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates.他的圣母系列作品，更是美术史上不可多得的杰作。他的一系列圣母画像，和中世纪画家所画的同类题材不同，都以母性的温情和青春健美而体现了人文主义思想。拉斐尔以世俗化的手法，将传统的宗教题材描绘成现实生活中的理想美，称颂一般人类线性的光辉，洋溢着幸福与欢愉，更加体现了他的人文主义思想。拉斐尔的艺术被后世称为“古典主义”，不仅启发了巴洛克风格，也对17世纪法国的古典学派产生了深远影响。就美术史的角度而言，拉斐尔不仅是文艺复兴时期的画家，更为后世开启了一扇创作典范的新窗。果戈理说，拉斐尔・桑齐奥是一位崇高的艺术神化创作大师。他天才地吸收了达・芬奇的艺术精华和米开朗基罗苍劲有力的创作风格。瓦萨里认为，拉斐尔的画中人物与其说是用颜色和线条构成，倒不如说是用血和肉组成。《西斯廷圣母》是32岁的拉斐尔在他的创作黄金期绘制的，是他的重要代表作。她给我们讲述了一个宗教故事。画面上，厚重的帷幔向两边徐徐拉开，圣母显得沉静、庄重，尽管未被神化，却也略显得圣洁化。画家也很注重表现人间的母性美。
