"Cardinal Bandinello Sauli, His Secretary, and Two Geographers" is an oil painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo, created around 1516. This work is notable for its depiction of Cardinal Bandinello Sauli, a prominent figure of the Catholic Church during the early 16th century, alongside his secretary and two geographers. The painting is a testament to the intricate interplay of religious, political, and scientific interests during the Renaissance period.

Sebastiano del Piombo, originally from Venice, was known for his ability to blend the rich color palette of the Venetian school with the monumental forms of the Roman tradition, influenced by his association with Michelangelo. This painting exemplifies his skill in portraiture and his capacity to convey the personalities and status of his subjects through composition and detail.

The cardinal is portrayed with a sense of authority and introspection, seated prominently in the composition. His secretary, positioned nearby, suggests the importance of administration and communication in ecclesiastical and political affairs. The inclusion of two geographers highlights the era's burgeoning interest in exploration and the expanding geographical knowledge of the world, reflecting the broader intellectual currents of the time.

The painting is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that del Piombo employed to create depth and volume, enhancing the realism of the figures. The careful attention to textures, such as the luxurious fabrics and the detailed rendering of the figures' expressions, further underscores the artist's mastery.

Currently housed in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the painting remains an important example of Sebastiano del Piombo's work and offers insight into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Renaissance. It serves as a visual document of the interconnectedness of art, science, and religion during this transformative period in European history.
