The "Angel" is a fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece, an early work by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. This fragment, which depicts an angel, is one of the surviving pieces of the original altarpiece created around 1500-1501 for the church of Sant'Agostino in Città di Castello, a small town in the Umbria region of Italy. The Baronci Altarpiece was Raphael's first documented commission, undertaken when he was still a teenager, showcasing his prodigious talent and early mastery of the High Renaissance style.

The original altarpiece was a large, multi-panel work dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. Unfortunately, it was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1789, leading to its disassembly. The surviving fragments, including the "Angel," were subsequently dispersed. The "Angel" fragment is particularly notable for its delicate rendering and the ethereal quality of the figure, which exemplifies Raphael's burgeoning skill in capturing the subtleties of human emotion and divine grace.

Raphael's work on the Baronci Altarpiece reflects the influence of his early mentors, Pietro Perugino and Pinturicchio, yet it also hints at the unique style that he would later fully develop. The "Angel" fragment, with its soft, harmonious lines and serene expression, is a testament to Raphael's ability to convey a sense of spiritual tranquility and beauty.

Today, the "Angel" fragment is housed in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, Italy. It remains a significant piece for art historians and enthusiasts, offering insight into the early development of one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. The fragment not only highlights Raphael's technical prowess but also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of art and the historical events that shape its preservation and legacy.
