"The Fire in the Borgo" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It is part of a series of Raphael's frescoes known as the Stanze di Raffaello, located in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. Created between 1514 and 1517, during the pontificate of Pope Leo X, the fresco decorates the room known as the Stanza dell'Incendio del Borgo, which translates to the Room of the Fire in the Borgo.

The artwork depicts a dramatic event that took place in 847: a fire that broke out in the Borgo, a district of Rome near the Vatican. According to legend, Pope Leo IV miraculously extinguished the fire by making the sign of the cross from a distance. Raphael's fresco captures the chaos and desperation of the inhabitants of the Borgo as they attempt to escape the flames and save their belongings. In the foreground, various figures are shown in dynamic poses, reflecting the influence of the ancient sculpture Laocoön and His Sons, which had recently been discovered in Rome and greatly impacted Renaissance artists.

The fresco is divided into two main parts: on the left, the people of the Borgo are seen in a state of panic, while on the right, Pope Leo IV appears in the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica, calmly raising his hand to stop the fire. This division emphasizes the contrast between human vulnerability and divine intervention. Raphael's mastery of composition, his use of color, and his ability to convey emotion through gesture and expression are all evident in this work.

"The Fire in the Borgo" is considered one of Raphael's masterpieces and is a prime example of High Renaissance art. It showcases his skill in creating a narrative scene filled with movement and drama, as well as his ability to harmonize classical references with contemporary themes. The fresco not only serves as a testament to Raphael's artistic genius but also reflects the political and spiritual ambitions of the papacy during the Renaissance.
