By Raphael (1483-1520)
Circa. 1505
High Italian Renaissance

According to legend, Raphael's premature death (April 6, 1520) was caused by a night of excessive sex with his mistress, Luti. This caused the artist to develop a fever and, not telling his doctors that this was its cause and was given the wrong cure. He died at age 37.
