Tomb of Raphael
Pantheon (Basilica of Santa Maria ad Martyres)
The Tomb of Raphael is at the Pantheon in Rome. Surmounted by the Madonna del Sasso, sculpted by Raphael's student, Lorenzetto, it presents the epitaph by Pietro Bembo which states «Here lies Raphael by whom Nature feared to be conquered while he lived, but now that he is dead, fears to die herself”.
To the right, a stone remembers Maria Bibbiena, fiancè of the painter, while on the left is a bust from the 1800s of Raphael, the work of Giuseppe Fabris (1833).
