The "Angel Fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece" is a notable work by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. This piece is one of the remaining fragments of Raphael's first documented commission, the Baronci Altarpiece, which was originally created for the church of St. Nicholas of Tolentino in Città di Castello, Italy, around 1500-1501. The altarpiece was dismembered and its parts scattered across various collections during the 17th century, following an earthquake that damaged the church in 1789.

The "Angel Fragment" specifically depicts a graceful angel, a subject that showcases Raphael's early mastery in rendering celestial figures with a sense of both ethereal beauty and individual character. The work is executed in oil on wood and, despite its fragmentary state, it retains the delicate modeling and serene expression characteristic of Raphael's figures. The angel is often noted for its harmonious proportions and the subtle use of light and shadow, which would become hallmarks of Raphael's mature style.

This fragment, along with its pendant piece depicting another angel, is believed to have been part of the predella or the lowermost decorative section of the altarpiece, which would have narrated scenes from the lives of the saints or the Virgin Mary. The Baronci Altarpiece itself was an important commission for the young Raphael, as it marked his transition from a student of Perugino to an independent master. The altarpiece's original composition and the exact number of its constituent parts remain a subject of art historical inquiry.

Today, the "Angel Fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various museums as part of exhibitions on Raphael and the Renaissance. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its value for understanding Raphael's early development as an artist and the artistic context of the period.
