Why is it important for the public to know about the life of Raphael Sanzio (painter)?

Question

What are Raphael's techniques and ways of life?
How do I convince an audience why Raphael's work should be included in a museum?

Answer 1

Raphael was an extremely important painter of the Renaissance (specifically of theHigh Renaissance), which was a cultural period with developments that continue to resonate in our own day. While it's not absolutely necessary for the public to be familiar with that period, educated people should be (and with cultural history in general), and they should therefore be familiar with its significant representatives.
