Question

Which statements about the life of Raphael are true?

Answer 1

-He apprenticed with Perugino and was inspired by the art of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

-He was a painter, architect, and archeologist.

-He painted a room of the Vatican for Pope Julius II and painted cartoons as designs for tapestries for the Sistine Chapel for Pope Leo

Answer 2

B and C are correct. Raphael’s first art teacher, Perugino, was a Renaissance painter, not a medieval artist. He painted a stanze in the Vatican, now known as the ‘Raphael rooms’. He was a painter and architect at St Peter’s Basillica, but he was not an archaeologist.
