The artist known simply as Raphael was born Raffaello Sanzio on April 6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy. His father, Giovanni Santi, was a painter for the Duke of Urbino. Giovanni taught his son basic painting techniques and exposed him to the principles of humanistic philosophy at the Duke of Urbinoâ??s court. When Raphael was eleven years old, Giovanni died, and Raphael took over his fatherâ??s workshop. His success quickly surpassed his fatherâ??s. At age seventeen, he was asked to be an apprentice to Perugino in Perugia, in the Umbria region of central Italy. This apprenticeship lasted four years.
