Description: 
It is likely that Raphael was profoundly involved in every aspect of the architect's work but he was no less active as a painter and it is clear that he depended, to a far greater extent than had Bramante, on the assistance of expert draughtsmen with much more practical experience of building. In particular, the talented nephew of Giuliano da Sangallo, Antonio da Sangallo (ii), who succeeded Raphael at St Peter's, occupied a position that was in some respects comparable to those of Giulio Romano and Giovan Francesco Penni in Raphael's painting studio. The extent of Raphael's responsibility is not easy to assess for this reason, especially in the case of the Palazzo Pandolfini, which was erected in Florence from ca. 1516 by the Sangallo family using designs by Raphael.
