5 works across 1 institution
Dublin's National Gallery of Ireland holds 5 works by Raphael (1483–1520) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Raphael died at 37, leaving a body of work that established the grammar of Western painting for centuries — perfect compositional balance, idealised beauty, emotional clarity. In person, his Madonnas and portraits reveal a subtlety of colour and warmth that makes his figures feel fully present.
