Heliodoro expulsado del templo

This scene depicts the miraculous intervention that prevented the treasurer Heliodorus from seizing the Temple's funds intended for widows and orphans. On the right, a rider in golden armor on a white horse tramples the fallen Heliodorus, while on the left, Pope Julius II is carried on a litter, witnessing the event as a testament to the divine protection of the Church. The architectural setting features a deep vaulted perspective leading to the Temple's sanctuary where a seven-branched menorah is visible.

The mural represents the theme of divine providence protecting the sanctity and property of the Church, a central concern of Pope Julius II. The theological program of the Vatican rooms was heavily influenced by Christian Kabbalist Egidio da Viterbo, who sought to harmonize Hebrew scripture and Roman authority within a Neoplatonic framework.
