"Detail from the Saint Nicholas Altarpiece" (1500-01) is an early work attributed to the Italian Renaissance master Raphael. This piece is a fragment of a larger altarpiece dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Tolentino, which was originally commissioned for the church of Sant'Agostino in Città di Castello, a town in the Umbria region of Italy. The altarpiece was one of Raphael's earliest known commissions and is significant for showcasing the burgeoning talent of the young artist, who would later become one of the most celebrated painters of the High Renaissance.

The altarpiece was created when Raphael was still in his teens, under the influence of his master, Pietro Perugino. The work reflects the stylistic elements of Perugino's teachings, including the use of delicate lines, balanced composition, and a serene, contemplative mood. Despite his youth, Raphael's skill in rendering figures and his keen sense of spatial harmony are evident in this piece.

Unfortunately, the original altarpiece was dismantled in the 18th century, and its components were dispersed. The "Detail from the Saint Nicholas Altarpiece" is one of the surviving fragments and is now housed in the Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia, Italy. This fragment provides valuable insight into Raphael's early development as an artist and his ability to convey religious themes with grace and sensitivity.

The depiction of Saint Nicholas in the altarpiece is characterized by a gentle expression and a sense of piety, attributes that Raphael would continue to refine throughout his career. The fragment's preservation allows art historians and enthusiasts to appreciate the early stages of Raphael's artistic journey and his contribution to the Renaissance movement.
