Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum holds 3 works by Raphael (1483–1520) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Raphael died at 37 but left a body of work that established the ideal of the High Renaissance: perfect compositional balance, idealised beauty, and emotional clarity.
