Raphael’s Secret Painting Hack Uncovered!

Did you know the Vatican just finished a 10-year glow-up on the Raphael Rooms—and found out Raphael was basically the OG mural innovator? Turns out, he tried painting with oil directly on walls (not just frescoes), using a wild grid of nails and resin. The Room of Constantine now looks stunning, and these discoveries are rewriting art history. If you’re heading to the Vatican, the scaffolding’s finally gone—perfect timing for some Renaissance magic! #ArtHistory #VaticanMuseums #Raphael #Religion
