A Burning City in Raphael’s Prediction
Flames and curling smoke rise among a densely packed city’s towers and roofs. Emblematic figures and animals appear within and around the destruction, making the scene more than a straightforward city view. It introduces Raphael’s astrological notices for September 1824, illustrating the prophetic mode of the surrounding historical text.
