The Transfiguration

Jesus had climbed a mountain called Tabor, together with his followers Peter, James and John. He there underwent a transfiguration: he became radiant. He also briefly spoke with Moses and the prophet Elijah (Elia). To impress Peter and the others even more, God spoke from a cloud: "This is my son, listen to him."

The lower half of the panel shows Jesus casting out an evil spirit from a boy, just after returning to his normal state. His disciples had failed at the same.

This panel is assumed to be Raphael's last painting. He died before completing it; it was finished by his student Giulio Romano.
