"The Meeting of Leo I and Attila" is a renowned sculptural relief created by the Italian artist Alessandro Algardi in the mid-17th century, specifically completed in 1646. This work is celebrated for its dynamic representation of a pivotal historical event— the meeting between Pope Leo I and Attila the Hun in 452 AD, which is said to have persuaded Attila to turn his invading forces away from Italy.

Crafted in marble, Algardi's relief is housed in the Vatican Museums and stands as a significant example of Baroque sculpture, showcasing Algardi’s mastery in conveying intense emotion and intricate detail through stone. The sculpture depicts a dramatic and tense moment, with Pope Leo I, accompanied by Saints Peter and Paul, appearing to confront Attila, who is shown with his troops. This meeting is often interpreted as a symbolic representation of the triumph of the Christian Church over pagan invaders.

Algardi's work is noted for its vivid portrayal of the characters and the detailed rendering of their expressions and garments. The composition effectively captures a moment of high drama and is a testament to Algardi's skills in narrative storytelling through sculpture. This piece not only reflects the artistic trends of the Baroque period but also serves as a visual reflection of political and religious power dynamics of the time.
