Room of the Fire in the Borgo

Why go

The central fire scene turns an episode linked to an earlier pope into a vigorous image of danger and response. Elsewhere, the room continues that historical framing for Leo X’s court. It is especially useful beside the other Raphael Rooms because its subject moves away from abstract fields of knowledge toward papal narrative.

What to look for

• The Fire in the Borgo scene gives the room its name.
• Other painted episodes refer to earlier popes.

Useful to know
