El pintor simultaneó la decoración de las Estancias del Vaticano con la realización de otras obras, como los frescos de El triunfo de Galatea para la Villa Farnesina.

En un espacio de gran amplitud, organizado con un perfecto sentido de la perspectiva, Rafael dispone una serie de grupos y figuras, con un absoluto equilibrio de fuerzas y una sublime elegancia de líneas. Also in the Uffizi from this period is a Self-Portrait, as well as an earlier portrait from 1503, Young Man with an Apple, of who is thought to be Francesco Maria della Rovere, the Duke of Urbino.

Raphael had not finished his work in the Stanza d'Eliodoro when in 1513 Pope Julius II dies and on the 11th of March Giovanni de Medici is elected and takes the name of Leo X. The artist's rise to fame and fortune continued under the patronage of the new pope, in fact, the commissions under Leo became ever more demanding. Raphael was now highly successful and had an extensive workshop of about fifty pupils and associates and, due to his vast workload, his assistants increasingly completed works following the artist's designs.

Some of the later works in the Stanze have been painted by his assistants and pupils. In 1514 Raphael finished his work in the Stanza d'Eliodoro and paints his Fire inthe Borgo in the Stanza dell Incendio.

The weaving took place in Brussels and in 1519 A total of seven tapestries arrived in Rome and were hung in the Sistine Chapel. In 1517 he begins the decoration of the Vatican Loggias and the Loggia di Psiche in Chigi's Tiber Villa.
