The Coronation of Charlemagne is a painting by the workshop of the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. Though it is believed that Raphael did make the designs for the composition the fresco was probably painted by Gianfrancesco Penni. The painting was part of Raphael’s commission to decorate the rooms that are now known as the Stanze di Raffaello in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It is located in the room that was named after The Fire in the Borgo the Stanza dell’incendio del Borgo.
