26 works across 3 institutions
London holds 26 works by Raphael across 3 institutions, including National Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Dulwich Picture Gallery.
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.
