"The Fire in the Borgo" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It is located in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, specifically in the room known as the Stanza dell'Incendio di Borgo, which is one of the four Raphael Rooms. Painted between 1514 and 1517, during the papacy of Leo X, the fresco depicts a miraculous event from the life of Pope Leo IV.

According to legend, a major fire broke out in the Borgo, a district of Rome near the Vatican, in 847. The flames threatened to destroy the Basilica of St. Peter and the surrounding area. Pope Leo IV, who was said to have been at St. Peter's at the time, made the sign of the cross from a balcony, and miraculously, the fire was extinguished, saving the church and the lives of many residents.

Raphael's depiction of this event is a masterful example of High Renaissance art, showcasing his ability to convey drama and emotion through composition, gesture, and color. The fresco is divided into two main parts: on the left, the chaotic scene of the Borgo engulfed in flames, with people attempting to escape or put out the fire; and on the right, the calm figure of Pope Leo IV extending his hand in a gesture of divine intervention.

The work is notable for its dynamic figures and the use of perspective to draw the viewer's eye towards the central action. Raphael's skill in rendering the human form is evident in the varied poses and expressions of the figures, which range from terror to hope. The fresco also reflects the influence of Michelangelo, evident in the muscular forms and the complex arrangement of the figures.

"The Fire in the Borgo" is considered one of Raphael's most significant works, illustrating both his artistic prowess and the influence of the papacy on Renaissance art. It remains a key attraction for visitors to the Vatican and a testament to Raphael's enduring legacy as one of the great masters of the Italian Renaissance.
