After his father died, Raphael studied in the studios of Theo and Vitti in Teemo, and soon after, he studied painting with Pi Nuo Cao. /kloc-at the age of 0/8, Raphael won the title of "painter".

1504, Raphael went to Florence. Florence was the most developed area of Italian culture at that time, and it was also a center of Renaissance. Raphael felt the fresh breath of art here and saw his own shortcomings. He is determined to study hard in Florence. His creation in this period mainly focused on the Madonna, and he painted a series of Madonna, such as Madonna of the Oriole, Madonna of the Grassland and Madonna of the Garden. These Madonna statues are quiet, visually harmonious and give people great beauty.
How was Raphael's Madonna created?
The Madonna created by Raphael has high artistic value. Raphael once said such a passage, telling people how he created the perfect Madonna. He said that in order to create a perfect female image, we must observe many beautiful women and then choose the most beautiful one as a model. But because there are few beautiful women and few real commentators, we must also turn to the image of ideal beauty that has been formed and is being searched in our minds. It can be said that Raphael was not created out of thin air, but artistically processed the prototype of beautiful women around him, thus shaping the distinctive Virgin Mary that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
