"The Meeting between Leo the Great and Attila" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio, commonly known as Raphael. This masterpiece was executed between 1513 and 1514 and is part of the series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Stanza di Eliodoro in the Vatican Palace. The Stanza di Eliodoro, one of the four Raphael Rooms, was commissioned by Pope Julius II as part of a grand project to redecorate the papal apartments.

The fresco depicts the legendary encounter between Pope Leo I, also known as Leo the Great, and Attila the Hun, which purportedly took place in 452 AD. According to historical accounts and Christian tradition, Pope Leo I confronted Attila near the city of Mantua, persuading him to turn back and spare Rome from destruction. The scene is imbued with dramatic intensity and theological significance, symbolizing the triumph of spiritual authority over barbaric force.

Raphael's composition masterfully captures the tension and solemnity of the moment. The central figure of Pope Leo I is depicted with a serene yet commanding presence, flanked by saints Peter and Paul, who are shown in a celestial vision above, reinforcing the divine support for the pontiff. Attila, on the other hand, is portrayed with a mixture of awe and reluctance, his fierce demeanor softened by the miraculous apparition.

The fresco is celebrated for its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and intricate details, which are characteristic of Raphael's mature style. The artist's ability to convey complex narrative and emotion through his figures and their interactions is evident in this work. "The Meeting between Leo the Great and Attila" not only serves as a historical and religious allegory but also exemplifies the artistic and intellectual achievements of the High Renaissance.
