BEAUTY IN COLOR: BLUE ON RAFFAELLO'S CANVASES.

Color has always been an important component of a person's perception of the overall picture -- this applies to art, religion, and individual worldviews. In different epochs and cultures, different, but always important meanings were conveyed with color, certain colors were associated with what was most significant and valuable for a people or a representative of a religious tradition. The blue color is exceptional in this sense -- for a long time it was not paid attention at all, but once appearing on the canvases of Renaissance artists, it spread its influence on the culture, art, and social life of Europe. In this study, we will determine the significance of the blue color in various world cultures that preceded the Renaissance, to make sure that it reaches its culmination point at this time. We pay special attention to the great Italian painter and architect Raffaello Santi, whose works have become synonymous with beauty, harmony, grace, and perfection in art. In the colors of Raffaello, stories, feelings, relationships of characters are hidden, they contain the secret of harmony, sublimity, and uniqueness of his canvases. This work offers a look at Raffaello's work through these paints, their colors, and shades, which, combined with the unique style and innate talent of the artist, have become the embodiment of the image of beauty that all philosophers have been talking about for many thousands of years.
