Viewing works by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known as Raphael, would be a life-time accomplishment for art lovers.

Two paintings attributed to Raphael, one of the most talented artists of the Italian Renaissance, are at the heart of a Beijing exhibition being held at Guardian Art Center until Oct 14.

The Meet Raphael: Masterpieces from Renaissance to Neoclassicism exhibition has brought the oil painting, Saint Luke the Evangelist Paints the Virgin in the Presence of Raphael, and a detached fresco, Putto Reggifestone, both attributed to Raphael and in the collection of the National Academy of Saint Luke in Rome.
