1517 (ca.), Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino) and workshop, The Coronation of Charlemagne -- Vatican Museums (Rome)
From the museum label: The Coronation of Charlemagne took place in St. Peters on Christmas night in the year 800, establishing the Holy Roman Empire. Since Leo III has the features of Leo X and Charlemagne has those of Francis I, the fresco probably refers to the pact signed by the Church and France in 1515.
