The Stanza della Segnatura Ceiling Prime Mover is one of the central frescoes painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino) in the Stanza della Segnatura, one of the Raphael Rooms at the Vatican Palace in Vatican City. This particular fresco is part of a larger decorative scheme that Raphael was commissioned to create by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century, which was intended to decorate the Pope's private library and study.

The Prime Mover, or "Il Primo Motore," is a concept derived from Aristotelian philosophy, referring to the initial cause of all motion in the universe, often equated with God in the context of Christian theology. In Raphael's fresco, the Prime Mover is depicted allegorically, often interpreted as a representation of divine wisdom or the creative force from which all knowledge and beauty emanate.

The ceiling of the Stanza della Segnatura is divided into four main compartments, each illustrating a theme corresponding to the wall below it. The themes of the four walls are Theology (Disputation of the Holy Sacrament), Philosophy (The School of Athens), Poetry (Parnassus), and Law (The Cardinal Virtues). The Prime Mover fresco is situated above The School of Athens, which celebrates the intellectual achievements of antiquity and is often considered one of Raphael's masterpieces.

Raphael's work on the Stanza della Segnatura, including the Prime Mover, is celebrated for its harmonious composition, use of perspective, and the integration of classical and Christian themes. The frescoes in this room not only reflect the humanist ideals of the Renaissance but also serve as a testament to Raphael's artistic genius, showcasing his ability to convey complex ideas through visual art.

The Stanza della Segnatura Ceiling Prime Mover is a key component of the room's iconographic program and contributes to the overarching message of the interrelation of human knowledge and divine inspiration. As with the other frescoes in the room, Raphael's work here has been studied extensively by art historians and is considered one of the high points of Renaissance art.
