he was a person just like you or me


Raffaello died at 37
in between he created
unlike any other

counter movements
formed three hundred years
after his death
[the first modern art revolution   The Pre-Raphaelites]

that is how large he was

If you are able to live briefly
choose your time well
and large was the Florentine
1510 year of our lord

a time of spires rising toward heaven
and palettes of form and emotion
a short life as masterpiece
