A photograph of a bust of Raphael sculpted by Pietro Naldini now in the Capitoline Museum, Rome (inv. no. Pro 46).

Ruland (1876) states that this bust was executed using a drawing by Carlo Maratti and a plaster cast of Raphael's head as models. The image of Raphael is apparently based on the portrait of a man (who was formerly thought to be Raphael) on the right of 'St Luke painting the Virgin', a painting now in the Academy of St Luke, Rome (inv. no. 283). In 1674 the bust was displayed above the tomb of Raphael in the Pantheon and it was later moved to the Capitoline Museum and replaced with a copy in situ. See Bibliographic References for further information.
