Description:
|
|
The four Stanze of Raphael form a suite of reception rooms, the public part of the papal apartments in the Palace of the Vatican. Stanza di Eliodoro was probably a private audience chamber. Accordingly, the frescoes were meant to illustrate the power of the Church. In 452 Pope Leo I managed to halt Attila the Hun, on his way to invade Rome, at the river Mincio near Mantua. The original commission was from Pope Julius II, but he died in 1513, succeeded by Leo X. The episode of Leo I halting the Huns, attractive to Julius, who was determined to expel the French from Italy, was of no less significance for his far less belligerent successor Leo X. Raphael adapted the composition, making the first Leo a portrait of the tenth. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
