(11:4) School of Athens

Who are the central figures depicted in the "School of Athens"
Plato and Aristotle

What message do you think Rafael was trying to communicate by depicting this scene of philosophers? Why would Rafael go through the trouble of depicting so many different philosophers, yet leave the descriptions of who they are out?

  1. Who created the fresco painting called school of Athens? (Raphael sanzio)

    what do you think Raphaels reason was for putting himself in the picture?
