The fresco of The Prophet Isaiah by Raphael was commissioned by Johann van Goritz (Janus Corycius) for his planned tomb in the aisle of Sant’Agostino — second right pillar from the back. Isaiah, flanked by two naked cherubs, holds a scroll inscribed in Hebrew with the words of Isaiah 16:2-3: “Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.”
