"Portrait of Leo X with Cardinals Giulio de Medici Luigi de Rossi" is a painting by the High Renaissance artist Raphael. Completed around 1518 - 1519, it currently resides in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. This artwork is regarded as one of Raphael's most complex and mature compositions, exuding a delicate balance between the realism of faces and the rich symbolism of its accessories.

The painting depicts Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, seated on his papal throne. Two cardinals, namely his cousins Giulio de Medici (the future Pope Clement VII) and Luigi de Rossi, flank him on either side. An atmosphere of quiet study engulfs the trio, with the Pope attentively examining a luxurious illuminated manuscript while his associates stand by in sober expressions. Interestingly, the representations of these powerful individuals by Raphael have been praised for their strong psychological insight than mere formal portraiture.

The work measures approximately 154 cm × 119 cm (61 in × 47 in). Its dark hues are contrasted with the vividly coloured attire, reflecting the influence of Venetian art on Raphael’s later works. Notable, too, is the use of subtly varied lighting, which provides a sense of depth and the illusion of three-dimensional space. Each subject's physical appearance, unique garments, and the surrounding environment have been meticulously crafted to symbolize their positions of power within the Catholic church.

The painting’s background encompasses books, an ornate lectern, and a finely adorned curtain, manifesting the humanistic culture of the Renaissance. As for symbolism, the globe held in Leo's grasp represents the universality of his papal authority, while the luxurious manuscript signifies the importance of scholarship and learning in his papacy.

"Portrait of Leo X with Cardinals Giulio de Medici and Luigi de Rossi" is considered one of Raphael’s most significant artworks, demonstrating his virtuosity in depicting the grandeur and subtleties of human character and his mastery in achieving depth and realism within a confined pictorial space.
