"Portrait of Leo X" is a renowned painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael, completed around 1518-1519. The artwork depicts Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, who was the head of the Catholic Church from 1513 to 1521. This portrait is notable for its detailed realism and psychological depth, capturing the Pope in a moment of introspection.

The painting features Leo X seated, flanked by two cardinals, Giulio de' Medici (later Pope Clement VII) and Luigi de' Rossi. The Pope is shown wearing opulent papal vestments, with a richly embroidered velvet cape and a white fur-trimmed mozzetta. He holds a magnifying glass in his right hand, a symbol of his scholarly interests and meticulous nature. The background is dark, which emphasizes the figures and the luxurious textures of their garments.

Raphael's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds to the solemn atmosphere of the scene. The painting is also noted for its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the textiles and the reflective surfaces.

"Portrait of Leo X" is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. It is considered one of Raphael's masterpieces and a significant example of portraiture from the Renaissance period. The painting not only reflects the grandeur and authority of the papacy but also provides insight into the character and personality of Leo X, who was a patron of the arts and a key figure during a transformative period in European history.

Raphael's portrayal of Leo X is often praised for its ability to convey the complexities of the Pope's character, blending both his human vulnerabilities and his authoritative presence. This work remains a vital piece of art history, illustrating the intersection of art, politics, and religion during the Renaissance.
