Great Art Ep.4: The School of Athens (Raphael) | NTD Arts & Culture

The Renaissance was the revival of the ancient world through the spirit
of the modern Christian world, and no work better represents this epoch
than Raphael's "The School of Athens."  Plato and Aristotle, the giants
of ancient Western philosophy, and heroes of Raphael, walk toward us,
flanked by a monumental gathering of Greek philosophers in the midst of
discussion and the exchange of knowledge. But their faces would have
been recognizable to Raphael's contemporaries - perhaps as their own.
