The "Portrait of Cardinal Bibbiena" is a distinguished work by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. Painted around 1516, this portrait captures Cardinal Bernardo Dovizi da Bibbiena, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church and a close associate of Pope Leo X. Cardinal Bibbiena was not only a significant ecclesiastical figure but also a patron of the arts and a playwright, which made him an influential personality in the cultural circles of the time.

Raphael's portrayal of Cardinal Bibbiena is a testament to his mastery in capturing the psychological depth and character of his subjects. The painting is noted for its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the Cardinal's elaborate ecclesiastical garments and the rich textures of the fabrics. The use of light and shadow in the portrait highlights Raphael's skill in creating a lifelike representation, giving the Cardinal a palpable presence.

The composition of the portrait is both balanced and harmonious, with the Cardinal seated in a dignified pose, exuding an air of authority and contemplation. His gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of introspection or perhaps a reflection on his responsibilities and influence within the Church. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on the Cardinal's expressive face and the intricate details of his attire.

This portrait is part of Raphael's broader body of work that includes numerous portraits of notable figures of his time, showcasing his ability to blend realism with idealism. Raphael's portraits are celebrated for their elegance, clarity, and the subtle yet profound way in which they convey the personality and status of the sitter.

The "Portrait of Cardinal Bibbiena" is housed in the Galleria Palatina of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. It remains a significant example of Raphael's portraiture and a valuable piece of Renaissance art, reflecting the artist's exceptional talent and the cultural milieu of the early 16th century.
