Raphael Sanzio: Raphael Sanzio, known to the world as simply Raphael, was born in Urbino, Italy in 1483. Even though he died at the age of 37, much of his work has endured the ages, some of it being on the walls of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican in Rome. He ran the largest workshop of students and assistants, which numbered 50, of any of the old masters of his time. Raphael died at the age of 37, in the year 1520, which was rumored to be the result of a fever contracted from a woman during an all night sexual encounter. He lied about the origin and the doctor's gave him the wrong cure, which killed him. His funeral was very grand, attended by large crowds of people.
