An Art History Presentation
with Andrew Linnell
March 18, 2026
7 PM Pacific Time
Although Raffaello Sanzio (1483-1520) died on Good Friday at the age of only 37, his art works quickly became treasures. Why was this artist so gifted? The main theme of his paintings was Madonna and Child. Did these paintings speak to one another? Can we see the influence of Leonardo arising in Raphael after 1504? This presentation will explore many of his paintings and evidence of Leonardo’s influence.
