"Poetry" is a ceiling tondo painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. This exquisite work is part of the intricate frescoes that adorn the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican, a room that served as Pope Julius II's private library and study. Raphael, who was commissioned by the Pope, executed this masterpiece between 1508 and 1511, during a period often regarded as the zenith of his artistic career.

The Stanza della Segnatura is celebrated for its thematic unity, with each wall and ceiling segment representing one of the four branches of human knowledge: Theology, Philosophy, Poetry, and Justice. The "Poetry" tondo is a central element in this intellectual and artistic schema, symbolizing the divine inspiration and creative power of poetry and the arts. It is positioned on the ceiling, surrounded by other allegorical figures and decorative elements that enhance its significance.

In the "Poetry" tondo, Raphael employs his characteristic grace and clarity to depict a female figure, often interpreted as the Muse of Poetry. She is typically shown holding a book or a scroll, signifying the written word and the transmission of poetic knowledge. The figure's serene expression and elegant posture reflect the Renaissance ideals of beauty and harmony, while the surrounding motifs and colors contribute to the overall aesthetic coherence of the room.

Raphael's work in the Stanza della Segnatura, including the "Poetry" tondo, is widely regarded as a pinnacle of High Renaissance art. It exemplifies his mastery of composition, his ability to convey complex themes through visual means, and his skill in creating a harmonious integration of art and architecture. The "Poetry" tondo, in particular, stands as a testament to the enduring power of artistic inspiration and the timeless nature of poetic expression.
