"The Fire in the Borgo (detail)" is a segment of the larger fresco "The Fire in the Borgo," painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. This fresco is part of the Raphael Rooms (Stanze di Raffaello) in the Vatican Palace, specifically located in the Stanza dell'Incendio di Borgo. Commissioned by Pope Leo X, the fresco was completed between 1514 and 1517 and is one of a series of works that Raphael and his workshop created to decorate the papal apartments.

The fresco depicts a miraculous event that, according to legend, took place in 847 AD during the pontificate of Pope Leo IV. A fire broke out in the Borgo, a district adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica, and threatened to engulf the area. The Pope's intervention, through prayer and making the sign of the cross, miraculously extinguished the flames, saving the district from destruction. This event is celebrated as a testament to the divine protection afforded to the Church and its followers.

The detail of "The Fire in the Borgo" captures the dramatic and chaotic scene as the fire rages and the people of the Borgo react with a mixture of panic, desperation, and faith. Raphael's mastery is evident in his dynamic composition, the expressive gestures of the figures, and the intricate interplay of light and shadow. The detail showcases the artist's ability to convey intense emotion and movement, drawing the viewer into the historical and spiritual significance of the event.

Raphael's work on this fresco is also notable for its integration of classical elements, reflecting the Renaissance fascination with antiquity. The figures are rendered with a sculptural quality, reminiscent of ancient Roman reliefs, and the architectural backdrop includes classical motifs that enhance the grandeur of the scene. The fresco, and its details, stand as a testament to Raphael's genius and his contribution to the High Renaissance art, blending narrative, emotion, and classical beauty in a harmonious composition.
