Perugino

Delivery of the Keys — Raphael's teacher

The leading painter of Umbria and the teacher whose sweetness and spatial clarity formed the young Raphael. His Delivery of the Keys in the Sistine Chapel — with its serene architectural backdrop and graceful figures — established the compositional template Raphael would perfect.
