Raphael’s Secret Art Hack Uncovered!

The Vatican just finished a 10-year glow-up on the Raphael Rooms and found something wild: Raphael was experimenting with oil paint directly on walls—way ahead of his time! They even found nails he used to hold a special resin surface. Turns out, two figures in the Room of Constantine are pure Raphael, not just his students’ work. The rooms are now fully open, just in time for the 2025 Jubilee. Art history nerds, this is HUGE! #ArtHistory #VaticanMuseums #Raphael #Religion
