Monday of Holy Week
Monday, April 6, is the birthday of Italian painter and architect Raphael, born Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino, Italy, in 1483. He was deeply influenced by Leonardo da Vinci, but departed from his teacher by creating figures with gentle, serene faces and forms. Over his lifetime, he produced more than 300 portraits on the “Madonna and Child” theme, including his famous Sistine Madonna.
