Raffaello, san sebastiano, 1501-02 circa, 05

This close-up focuses on the gold-embroidered trim of the saint's red cloak and the intricate rendering of his long, curling hair. In the background, a serene landscape of rolling hills and trees fades into an atmospheric, misty horizon. This early work shows the influence of Raphael's teacher, Perugino, in its delicate features and tranquil setting.
