Raphael van Urbino (Raffaello Sanzio) was an Italian painter. Raphael was born in Urbino in 1483, where the house he was born in can still be seen! In his parental home are some of his father's works and a painting, called 'La Muta', by Raphael himself. Urbino is an old town in Italy that received UNESCO status in 1998. Raphael got his inspiration from the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Raphael was a brilliant portrait painter who mainly painted his works with oil paint. Raphael was only 37 years old, but in his life he painted a huge number of masterpieces. Due to his death, 500 years ago, San Marino decided to issue a 2 Euro coin in his memory.
