"The Meeting of Leo I and Attila" is a renowned bas-relief sculpture created by the Italian artist Alessandro Algardi, a prominent figure of the Baroque period. Completed in 1646-1653, this work is considered one of Algardi's masterpieces and is housed in the St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The relief depicts a legendary event from 452 AD, where Pope Leo I, also known as Leo the Great, meets with Attila the Hun, the feared ruler of the Huns, outside the city of Rome.

According to historical accounts, Pope Leo I, accompanied by a Roman delegation, confronted Attila, persuading him to turn back and spare Rome from destruction. The scene has been immortalized in various art forms, with Algardi's interpretation being particularly notable for its dramatic expression and intricate detail. The sculpture showcases the contrast between the spiritual authority of the Pope and the military power of Attila, encapsulated in the serene composure of Leo I and the tense dynamism of Attila's figure.

Algardi's work is celebrated for its vivid storytelling and the skillful use of perspective, which enhances the depth and realism of the scene. The relief is also a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex narratives through the medium of sculpture, a hallmark of the Baroque era's emphasis on emotion and movement. "The Meeting of Leo I and Attila" remains a significant historical and artistic representation of a pivotal moment in the history of Rome and the Catholic Church, reflecting the power of diplomacy and faith over warfare and conquest.
