EDITORS COMMENTS
Raphael's Masterpiece: The Mass of Bolsena in Vatican City's Stanza di Eliodoro This exquisite print showcases Raphael's masterpiece, The Mass of Bolsena, painted in 1515 for Pope Julius II in the Stanza di Eliodoro at the Vatican Palaces in Vatican City. The fresco represents the miraculous event that occurred in Bolsena, Italy, in 1283. During the Mass, a doubting priest named Doubting Thomas, from the town of Orvieto, was celebrating the Eucharist when he experienced a profound doubt about the real presence of Christ in the Sacred Host. As he held the Host aloft, it began to bleed, staining the corporal below. This miraculous event, known as the Miracle of the Eucharist of Bolsena, served to strengthen the faith of the priest and the people. In Raphael's representation, Pope Julius II is depicted on his knees in prayer, witnessing the miracle unfold. The fresco's intricate details and lifelike figures showcase Raphael's exceptional artistic skill, making it a significant work of Renaissance art from the Cinquecento period. The Mass of Bolsena is a testament to Raphael's ability to capture the essence of faith and the supernatural, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and visitors to the Vatican City.
