Question

How was Raphael influenced by Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, and what set him apart from them and others from their time? (site 1)

Answer 1

after seeing the works of Leonardo da Vinci, who had no peer in the expressions of heads both of men and of women, had surpassed all other painters in giving grace and movement to his figures, he [Raphael] was left marveling and amazed; and in a word, the manner of Leonardo pleasing him more than any other that he had ever seen, he set himself to study it, and abandoning little by little, although with great difficulty, the manner of Pietro [Perugino], he sought to the best of his power and knowledge to imitate that of Leonardo

Answer 2

Answer:

Looking carefully at the wide variety of faces and gestures in Raphael’s dignified figures. His attention to detail also gives his work a sense of realism. The composition, while lively, looks staged. To some extent, it recalls Leonardo’s Last Supper composition of 13 men who all sit facing outward along a horizontal table, and the simpler receding architecture that frames Jesus in the center. In the fresco, Raphael also includes Michelangelo down in front sitting and leaning on the marble slab deep in thought. The weight and strength Raphael gives his figures and depiction of their clothes echoes those of Michelangelo’s style, who was working on the Sistine Chapel ceiling right next door. At the same time, Raphael’s figures reflect the grace and beauty of his own style.
