Hello!
One of my favorite paints is "the school of athens" or "Scuola di Atene" in Italian. This art work was created between 1510 and 1511 by the artist Rafael Sanzio. Who was one of the best painters of the renaissance.This fresco was created to decorate the Apostolic Palace. Julio II asked Rafael to paint it to decorate the room. In our days this work is located in the Raphael's rooms in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican.This fresco represents the philosophy of this epoch because this painting shows one session of the classic philosophers. In this fresco you can see the most important philosophers, mathematicians and scientists of the ancient greece but they are in a classic Roman architecture , not Greek.
Aristoteles and Platon are the central figures of the painting. Platon is supporting the "Timeo" and Aristoteles supports a copy of his "Ethics to Nicómano". They have a discussion about the search of the truth. They show with his expression his ideas about where the truth is . The old Platon indicates with his hand to the sky alluding to his theory of the ideas. In contrast Aristoteles indicates to the floor to explain his theory about the nature.
This painting shows other important philosophers as Socrates, Pitagoras, Epicuro, Parmenides, etc.
Well, I saw this work for the first time in my school. My teacher of philosophy showed me this picture and said "this painting shows the fathers of the phylosophy".
I agree with my teacher and i like very much the philosophers that shows this painting. In general I admire the culture of the ancient greece because they invented the democracy, the sciences and the politic life. For this reason i like very much this painting

Also this painting is full of symbols and if you know about the ideas of the philosophers
you can see that everything the figures in the paintings do, is related to their ideas and theories.
