"Portrait of Pope Julius II" is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino). Created in oil on wood, the artwork dates to c. 1511–12 and is one of Raphael's most famous and revered portraits. The painting depicts Pope Julius II, who was pontiff from 1503 to 1513 and a significant patron of the arts, including commissioning Michelangelo's decoration of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica.

The portrait is renowned for its representation of the Pope in a state of reflective introspection, a departure from the traditional grandiosity associated with papal portraits of the time. Julius II is seated, wearing his papal vestments, including the white papal mozzetta and the stole, while his gaze seems to be directed inward, suggesting a man burdened by the weight of his office and the tumultuous times in which he lived. Raphael's use of color, texture, and nuanced lighting contributes to the psychological depth of the portrait, which is considered a masterpiece of character study.

The painting has a storied provenance, having been part of several royal and private collections before finding its home in the National Gallery, London, where it remains on public display. It has been widely analyzed and admired for its artistry and impact on portrait painting, influencing subsequent generations of artists. The "Portrait of Pope Julius II" stands as a testament to Raphael's skill in capturing the human spirit and the cultural and political power of the Renaissance papacy.
