Name: The school of Athens
Artist: Raphael
Date: 1509-1510
Location(painted in): Apostolic palace, Vatican city
Location(kept in): Apostolic palace, Vatican city
Description: The figures in this painting all represent Philosophy, Poetry (including Music), Theology and Law. Commentators have suggested that nearly every great Greek philosopher can be found within the painting, but determining which are depicted is difficult, since Raphael made no designations outside possible likenesses, and no contemporary documents to explain the painting. The two central figures are Plato on the left and Aristotle, his student, on the right.
