"Pope Julius II" is a renowned portrait by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), painted between 1511 and 1512. It is one of Raphael's most famous and revered works, depicting Pope Julius II, who was a significant patron of the arts and the pontiff who commissioned the painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo. The portrait is celebrated for its striking realism, psychological depth, and masterful use of color and light, which were innovative for the time and exemplified Raphael's artistic prowess.

The painting portrays the Pope seated in an armchair, his face reflecting a mix of authority and introspection, a testament to Raphael's ability to capture the complex personality of his subjects. Julius II is dressed in his papal vestments, including a white cassock and a red mozzetta, with the papal tiara placed on a table beside him, suggesting both his religious authority and his temporal power. The Pope's gaze is directed away from the viewer, lost in thought, which has been interpreted as a sign of his contemplative nature or the burdens of his papacy.

Raphael's portrait of Pope Julius II had a significant impact on the genre of portraiture, setting a new standard for the realistic depiction of individuals in power. It has been widely copied and imitated, and its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent artists throughout the centuries. The original painting is housed in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.

The portrait is not only a masterpiece of Renaissance art but also a historical document, providing insight into the character of one of the most dynamic and influential figures of the period. Raphael's ability to convey the Pope's personality and status without sacrificing the individuality of his subject makes "Pope Julius II" a seminal work in the history of portraiture.
