The Transfiguration is the last painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael.Cardinal Giulio de Medici – who later became Pope Clement VII (in office: 1523–1534) – commissioned the work, conceived as an altarpiece for Narbonne Cathedral in France; Raphael worked on it in the years preceding his death in 1520.

It was inspired by a passage in the biography of Raphael written by Quatremère de Quincy. Raphael is shown at a makeshift easel drawing a peasant woman with her child and surrounded by a crowd of attentive students while Michelangelo is shown in the bottom left corner. [3] Above them are Pope Julius II and Leonardo da Vinci. [4]
The image depicts three of the Graces of classical mythology. It is frequently asserted that Raphael was inspired in his painting by a ruined Roman marble statue displayed in the Piccolomini Library of the Siena Cathedral—19th-century art historian [Dan K] held that it was a not very skillful copy of that original—but other inspiration is possible, as the subject was a popular one in Italy.
The painting possesses an esthetic influence from Pinturicchio and Melozzo da Forlì, though the spatial orchestration of the work, with its tendency to movement, shows Raphael's knowledge of the Florentine artistic milieu of the 16th century. [2] The work was acquired by the São Paulo Museum of Art in 1954.
