"The Mass at Bolsena (detail)" is a fragment of the larger fresco "The Mass at Bolsena," painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. This work is part of the series of frescoes commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the rooms now known as the Raphael Rooms in the Vatican Palace. Specifically, "The Mass at Bolsena" is located in the Stanza di Eliodoro, one of the four rooms adorned by Raphael and his workshop between 1508 and 1524.

The fresco depicts the miraculous event that took place in 1263 in the town of Bolsena, Italy. According to legend, a Bohemian priest who doubted the doctrine of transubstantiation was celebrating Mass when the consecrated Host began to bleed. This miracle was interpreted as divine proof of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The event led to the institution of the Feast of Corpus Christi by Pope Urban IV.

Raphael's depiction captures the moment of the miracle with a profound sense of drama and reverence. The detail in question likely focuses on a specific segment of the larger composition, highlighting Raphael's masterful use of color, composition, and expression to convey the sacredness of the event. The fresco is noted for its intricate details, such as the realistic portrayal of the figures' emotions and the rich textures of their garments.

Raphael's work on "The Mass at Bolsena" exemplifies his ability to blend narrative clarity with artistic elegance, making it a significant piece in the canon of Renaissance art. The fresco not only serves as a religious and historical document but also as a testament to Raphael's enduring legacy as one of the greatest artists of his time.
