The fresco titled The Mass of Bolsena celebrates a miracle that took place in the thirteenth century and is linked to the feast of Corpus Christi. As you can see, Raphael had to paint this fresco around a window. He managed to do so with a stroke of genius: the left side shows a numerous, crowded group of worshipers, while the larger right sides portray figures of the papal entourage.
