The Prophet Isaiah (Raphael)

The Prophet Isaiah is a fresco painted by the Italian Renaissance master Raphael between 1511 and 1512, commissioned by the patron Johann of Goritz, known in Latin as Janus Corycius, for the Basilica di Sant'Agostino in Rome, where it remains today. It depicts the prophet Isaiah as a powerful, three-dimensional figure accompanied by putti, holding a scroll inscribed in Hebrew with a supplication for entry into Heaven, above which appears a Greek dedication to Saint Anne. Measuring about 250 by 155 centimetres, the fresco shows the clear influence of Michelangelo's contemporary work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling and was restored to Raphael's original design in 1960 after centuries of overpainting.
