What did Raphael invent?

Raphael invented the idea of modes of coloring, according to many art historians. Unlike his peers and predecessors, who tended to use similar color schemes in their works, Raphael devised the concept of matching color styles to projects to enhance their meaning and allow them to engage with their surroundings. Raphael also made contributions to the development of linear perspective, a method of making two-dimensional images appear as if they exist in three dimensions.
