1514, Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio), The Meeting of Leo the Great and Attila -- Vatican Museums (Rome)
From the museum label: The Meeting between Leo the Great and Attila is the last fresco painted in this room and was finished after the death of Julius II and during the papacy of his successor. Leo X appears twice in the same scene, portrayed as Pope Leo the Great and as cardinal. According to legend, the miraculous appearance of St. Peter and St. Paul armed with swords during the meeting of Pope Leo the Great with Attila (452 A.D.) caused the King of the Huns to renounce his invasion of Italy and his march on Rome. Raphael set the scene at the gates of Rome, identified by the Colosseum, an aqueduct, an obelisk and other buildings, even though the historic episode actually occurred in the north of Italy, near Mantua.
