The future Pope Clement VII commissioned Raphael to create this masterpiece in 1516. It was not finished when the artist died in 1520 and was probably completed by his pupil Giulio Romano shortly thereafter. This is last work of the Italian High Renaissance and is housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana in Rome.
