* BlindMistake: Creator/{{Homer}}, Creator/{{Virgil}}, and Creator/DanteAlighieri are seen engaging with each other ''The Parnassus'', only the blind Homer is looking in the opposite of his fellow poets and is seen reaching out his hands looking for them.
* BlueIsHeroic: One of the central figures of ''The School of Athens'', Aristotle, is cloaked in a vibrant blue that marks who '''the''' Philosopher is in this assembly of great and holy minds.

* CreatorCameo: Raphael's self-portrait is hidden in the crowd of Greek philosophers that appear in ''The School of Athens'', set apart from the others by the AsideGlance he gives to the audience.

* RedIsHeroic: One of the central figures of ''The School of Athens'', Plato, is seen wearing a bright red that distinguishes him and his metaphysical ideals from the muted world at his fate.

Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop, and despite his death at 37, a large body of his work remains. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career. The best known work is Art/TheSchoolOfAthens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome much of his work was executed by his workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael's more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models. His career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, first described by Giorgio Vasari: his early years in Umbria, then a period of about four years (1504–1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates.
