"Pope Julius II (1443-1513)" is a renowned Renaissance portrait by the Italian master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), painted during the High Renaissance period. This iconic artwork, created circa 1511-1512, is a striking depiction of one of Raphael's most important patrons, Pope Julius II, who reigned as the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 1503 until his death in 1513. The portrait is celebrated for its psychological depth, realism, and the masterful use of color and light, which were revolutionary at the time and exemplify Raphael's artistic prowess.

The painting portrays the seated pontiff in three-quarter profile, dressed in his papal vestments, including the white surplice, the red mozzetta, and the stole. Julius II is depicted with a stern, contemplative expression, his gaze seemingly lost in thought, which has led to much speculation about the underlying message of the portrait. The inclusion of the richly adorned chair and the sumptuous fabrics further emphasizes the status and authority of the sitter.

Raphael's portrait of Pope Julius II had a significant impact on the genre of portraiture and set a new standard for the depiction of ecclesiastical figures. The work is also notable for its influence on subsequent artists, who sought to capture the individual character and emotion of their subjects in a similar manner. The painting is housed in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and historical importance.

The portrait is not only a testament to Raphael's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the personality and reign of one of the most powerful men of the Renaissance. Pope Julius II's patronage of the arts led to the commissioning of some of the period's most significant works, including the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo, making this portrait an integral piece of Renaissance art history.
