"The Coronation of Charlemagne" is a painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raffaellozio, more commonly known as Raphael. Completed in 1516-17 as part of the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Palace, Rome, "The Coronation of Charlemagne" is a significant work in Raphael's oeuvre for its political symbolism.

This large fresco portrays the historic event from 800 AD when Pope Leo III crowned Charlem as Holy Roman Emperor, effectively highlighting the reaffirmation of the alliance between the Church and the Empire. Raphael skillfully uses perspective to emphasize the central action, while the characters and their lavish attire are carefully illuminated and detailed, showcasing the artist's mastery of the High Renaissance style.

Charlemagne is depicted in the act of receiving the crown in the presence of a large audience, which includes several members of the papal court and the emperor's retinue. The pope is shown bestowing the crown, a scene indicative of the Church's authority over the state. The grandeur of the moment is further emphasized by the stunning architectural background, which includes a rendition of Old Saint Peter's Basilica, which existed before its demolition in the 16th century.

Yet, the painting serves another purpose beyond its historical narrative. Commissioned by Pope Leo X, the work was part of Raphael's assignment to adorn four rooms in the Vatican Palace, hyphy known as the Raphael Rooms, or Stanze di Raffaello. The room in which "The Coronation of Charlemagne" is found is specifically known as the Room of Constantine, and its decoration showcases the complex relationship between the Church and secular powers in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Overall, Raphael's "The Coronation of Charlemagne" stands as a remarkable example of the artist's exceptional skill in using composition, color, and light to narrate a decisive historical moment and reflect contemporary political discussions.
