Abstract

Raphael, the most important artist in the heyday of the Renaissance, influenced the artistic development of Europe during the Renaissance and more areas in the future with his unique painting style and deep pursuit of ideal beauty. The formation of Raphael's artistic style comes from the background of his Renaissance, his life experience, and the influence of artists of the same period. This paper studies the formation of Raphael's painting style: the background of the Renaissance provided a unique condition for Raphael's painting creation, which catalyzed and formed his unique personal style; The further formation of Raphael's painting style was greatly influenced by outstanding artists from all over the world at the same time. In the end, Raphael formed his own style in the later period of his creative career, which can rival or even surpass other artists: harmonious pictures, exquisite coloring techniques, and the ideal human beauty displayed in the pictures.
