Raphael
Raphael (1483 to 1520) painted the four Raphael Rooms in the Vatican for Julius II and his successors and is buried in the Pantheon. His Transfiguration hangs in the Vatican Pinacoteca.
Example
The Raphael Rooms sit on the route to the Sistine Chapel and are the rooms most visitors cross without stopping, so they are the reason to slow down before the chapel.
