Raffael - Kopist - Detail aus dem Borgobrand

The drawing focuses on a female figure seen from behind, balancing one amphora on her head while carrying another at her side. Her wind-swept robes and muscular posture convey the urgency of the scene as she moves to help extinguish a fire. In the background, a second figure is visible with arms raised in a gesture of distress.

This work reflects the Renaissance practice of 'imitatio,' where artists studied Raphael’s mastery of anatomy and movement to achieve the Neoplatonic ideal of physical and compositional harmony. The original fresco depicts a miraculous intervention by Pope Leo IV, representing the restoration of divine order over worldly chaos.
