title: [The humanist Raphael, the structures of the face and their esthetic appreciation].
abstract: His knowledge of antique culture thanks Raphael to his lectures of Dante and Petrarque, to the humanists of Urbino mostly to his friend Castiglione--and to those of the papal court, and also to the recently discovered ancient sculptures. He painted the faces of the Italians of his time in portraits and historical frescoes, his idealised faces in allegories of antiquity and religious paintings, specially in his madonnas where his preferred type of the face is oval an lengthened.
