"The Prophet Isaiah" is a fresco created by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael during the years 1511-1512. This notable work of art is located in the Basilica di Sant'Agostino, one of the oldest churches in Rome. The fresco depicts the biblical figure Isaiah, a prophet revered in Judeo-Christian traditions for his foretellings of the Messiah's coming. Raphael's depiction is celebrated for its dynamic composition and the prophet's expressive countenance, which conveys a sense of divine inspiration or revelation.

Commissioned by Pope Julius II, Raphael's fresco was part of a larger project to decorate the church with images of prophets and sibyls, echoing the artistic program of the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo. The work showcases Raphael's mastery of color and form, as well as his ability to imbue his figures with a sense of grace and grandeur. The Prophet Isaiah is particularly noted for its harmonious proportions and the skillful use of chiaroscuro, which Raphael may have been inspired to adopt after observing Michelangelo's work.

The fresco's Isaiah is depicted seated, with a scroll in one hand, symbolizing the prophecies he is said to have received from God. An accompanying pair of putti, or cherubic figures, hold up a tablet that bears the inscription "SANCTVS ISAIA PROPHETA" (Holy Isaiah the Prophet), further identifying the figure. The Prophet Isaiah is a significant example of Raphael's work during his Roman period and contributes to the understanding of the High Renaissance's approach to religious iconography, where figures from sacred texts were rendered with a renewed sense of humanism and emotional depth.

The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis and is often compared with contemporary works to explore the artistic exchanges and influences among the masters of the time. Despite the damage and restorations it has undergone over the centuries, "The Prophet Isaiah" remains a testament to Raphael's artistic genius and an important piece of Renaissance art history.
