The School of Athens, or Scuola di Atene in Italian, is one of the most famous frescoes by the Italian Renaissance

artist Raphael. It was painted between 1510 and 1511 as a part of Raphael's commission to decorate with frescoes the

rooms now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. The Stanza della Segnatura was

the first of the rooms to be decorated, and The School of Athens the second painting to be finished there, after La

Disputa, on the opposite wall. The picture has long been seen as "Raphael's masterpiece and the perfect embodiment

of the classical spirit of the High Renaissance."[1]

Program, subject, figure identifications and interpretations

The "School of Athens" is one of a group of four main frescoes on the walls of the Stanza (those on either side

centrally interrupted by windows) that depict distinct branches of knowledge. Each theme is identified above by a

separate tondo containing a majestic female figure seated in the clouds, with putti bearing the phrases: Seek

Knowledge of Causes, Divine Inspiration, Knowledge of Things Divine (Disputa), To Each What Is Due.

Accordingly, the figures on the walls below exemplify Philosophy, Poetry (including Music), Theology, and Law. [2]

The traditional title is not Raphael's, and the subject of the School is actually "Philosophy",[3] or at least ancient

Greek philosophy, and its overhead tondo-label, Causarum Cognitio tells us what kind, as it appears to echo

Aristotles emphasis on wisdom as knowing why, hence knowing the causes, in Metaphysics Book I and Physics

Book II. Indeed, Plato and Aristotle appear to be the central figures in the scene below. However all the philosophersdepicted sought to understand through knowledge of first causes. Many lived before Plato and Aristotle, and hardly a

third were Athenians. The architecture contains Roman elements, but the general semi-circular setting having Plato

and Aristotle at its centre might be alluding to Pythagoras' circumpunct.

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. Compounding the problem, Raphael had to invent a system of

iconography to allude to various figures for whom there were no traditional visual types. For example, while the

Socrates figure is immediately recognizable from Classical busts, the alleged Epicurus is far removed from the

standard type for that philosopher. Aside from the identities of the figures depicted, many aspects of the fresco have

been variously interpreted, but few such interpretations are generally accepted among scholars. The popular idea thatthe rhetorical gestures of Plato and Aristotle are kinds of pointing (to the heavens, and down to earth) is a likely

reading. However Platos Timaeuswhich is the book Raphael places in his handwas a sophisticated treatment of

space, time and change, including the Earth, which guided mathematical sciences for over a millennium. Aristotle,

with his four elements theory, held that all change on Earth was owing to the motions ofthe heavens. In the painting

Aristotle carries his Ethics, which he denied could be reduced to a mathematical science. It is not established how

much the young Raphael knew of ancient philosophy, what guidance he might have had from people such as

Bramante, or whether a detailed program was dictated by his sponsor, Pope Julius II. Nevertheless the fresco was

even recently interpreted as an exhortation to philosophy and, in a deeper way, as a visual representation of the role

of Love in elevating people toward upper knowledge, largely in debt with the contemporary theories of Marsilio

Ficino and other neo-platonic thinkers linked to Raphael.[4] Finally, according to Vasari, the scene includes Raphael

himself, the Duke of Mantua, Zoroaster and some Evangelists.[5]

However, as Heinrich Wlfflin observed, "it is quite wrong to attempt interpretations of the 'School of Athens' as an

esoteric treatise ... The all-important thing was the artistic motive which expressed a physical or spiritual state, and

the name of the person was a matter of indifference" in Raphael's time. [6] What is evident is Raphael's artistry in

orchestrating a beautiful space, continuous with that of viewers in the Stanza, in which a great variety of human

figures, each one expressing "mental states by physical actions", interact, and are grouped in a "polyphony" unlike

anything in earlier art, in the ongoing dialogue of Philosophy.[7]

An interpretation of the fresco relating to hidden symmetries of the figures and the star constructed by Bramante was

given by Guerino Mazzola and collaborators.[8]

Figures

The identities of some of the philosophers in the picture, such as Plato or Aristotle, are undeniable. Beyond that,

identifications of Raphael's figures have always been hypothetical. To complicate matters, beginning from Vasari's

efforts, some have received multiple identifications, not only as ancients but also as figures contemporary with

Raphael.[9]

Luitpold Dussler counts among those who can be identified with some certainty: Plato, Aristotle, Socrates,

Pythagoras,[10] Euclid,[11] Ptolemy, Zoroaster, Raphael, Sodoma and Diogenes. Other identifications he holds to be

"more or less speculative".[12]

A more comprehensive list of proposed identifications is given below:[13]

The parenthetical names are the contemporary characters from whom Raphael is thought to have drawn his likenesses.

Renaissance: Heraclitus, the "weeping" philosopher, and Democritus, the "laughing" philosopher. 3: unknown

Central figures (14 and 15)

In the center of the fresco, at its architecture's central vanishing point,

are the two undisputed main subjects: Plato on the left and Aristotle,

his student, on the right. Both figures hold modern (of the time), bound

copies of their books in their left hands, while gesturing with their

right. Plato holds Timaeus, Aristotle his Nicomachean Ethics. Plato is

depicted as old, grey, wise-looking, and bare-foot. By contrast

Aristotle, slightly ahead of him, is in mature manhood, handsome,

well-shod and dressed with gold, and the youth about them seem to

look his way. In addition, these two central figures gesture alongdifferent dimensions: Plato vertically, upward along the picture-plane,

into the beautiful vault above; Aristotle on the horizontal plane at

right-angles to the picture-plane (hence in strong foreshortening),

initiating a powerful flow of space toward viewers. It is popularly

thought that their gestures indicate central aspects of their

philosophies, for Plato, his Theory of Forms, and for Aristotle, his

empiricist views, with an emphasis on concrete particulars. However,

Plato's Timaeus was, even in the Renaissance, a very influential treatise on the cosmos, whereas Aristotle insisted

that the purpose of ethics is "practical" rather than "theoretical" or "speculative": not knowledge for its own sake, as

he considered cosmology to be.

Setting

The building is in the shape of a Greek cross, which some have suggested was intended to show a harmony between

pagan philosophy and Christian theology[1] (see Christianity and Paganism and Christian philosophy). The

architecture of the building was inspired by the work of Bramante, who, according to Vasari, helped Raphael with

the architecture in the picture.[1] Some have suggested that the building itself was intended to be an advance view of

St. Peter's Basilica.[1]

There are two sculptures in the background. The one on the left is the god Apollo, god of light, archery and music,

holding a lyre.[1] The sculpture on the right is Athena, goddess of wisdom, in her Roman guise as Minerva.[1]

The main arch, above the characters, shows a meander (also known as a Greek fret or Greek key design), a design

using continuous lines that repeat in a "series of rectangular bends" which originated on pottery of the Greek

Geometric period and then become widely used in ancient Greek architectural friezes.[19]

Drawings and cartoon

A number of drawings made by Raphael as studies for the School of Athens are extant. [20] A study for the Diogenes

is in the Stdel in Frankfurt[21] while a study for the group around Pythagoras, in the lower left of the painting, is

preserved in the Albertina Museum in Vienna.[22] Several drawings, showing the two men talking while walking up

the steps on the right and the Medusa on Athena's shield,[23] the statue of Athena (Minerva) and three otherstatues,[24] a study for the combat-scene in the relief below Apollo[25] and "Euclid" teaching his pupils[26] are in the

Copies

The Victoria and Albert Museum has a rectangular version over 4 metres by 8 metres in size, painted on canvas,

dated 1755 by Anton Raphael Mengs on display in the eastern Cast Court.[28]

Modern reproductions of the fresco abound. For example, a full-size one can be seen in the auditorium of Old Cabell

Hall at the University of Virginia. Produced in 1900 by George W. Breck to replace an older reproduction that was

destroyed in a fire in 1895, it is four inches off scale from the original, because the Vatican would not allow identical

reproductions of its art works.[29]

Other reproductions include: by Neide, in Knigsberg Cathedral, Kaliningrad,[30] in the University of North Carolina

at Asheville's Highsmith University Student Union, and a recent one in the seminar room at Baylor University's

Brooks College. A copy of Raphael's School of Athens was painted on the wall of the ceremonial stairwell that leads

to the famous, main-floor reading room of the Bibliothque Sainte-Genevive in Paris.

The two figures at the left of Plotinus were used as part of the cover art of both Use Your Illusion IandIIalbums ofGuns N' Roses.

agreeing with Theology, is a woman representing Knowledge, seated in a chair supported on either side by a goddess Cybele, with the

numerous breasts ascribed by the ancients to Diana Polymastes. Her garment is of four colours, representing the four elements, her head being

the colour of fire, her bust that of air, her thighs that of earth, and her legs that of water." For further clarification, and introduction to more

[16] The interpretation of this figure as Hypatia seems to have originated from the Internet. Serious sources don't mention it at all. H. J. Mozans

(=John Augustine Zahm) specifically regrets that Hypatia doesn't appear in the painting in his book Women in Science (http://www.archive.

org/details/womaninsciencewi00mozaiala) p.141

[17] Raphael's lover Fornarina is portrayed in a famous painting in the National Gallery of Ancient Art in Rome. This identification has been

introduced on 2002 by Matteo Smolizza during his cooperation with Lorenza Mochi Onori, former Director of the Museum, in the occasion of

the Exhibit LaFornarina di Raffaello, Milan, Fondazione Arte e Civilt, March 14 - June 2, 2002. It was later investigated on the basis of 1)

position of the portrait (specular to Raphael's one) ; 2) appearance compared with contemporary Raphael s drawings; 3) strictly contemporary

texts by Raphael to the woman; 4) fresco's general meaning. Cfr. Smolizza, pp. 68-74[18] The interpretation of this figure as Sodoma may be in error, as Sodoma was 33 at the time of painting, while Raphael's teacher, Perugino,

was a renowned painter and aged about 60 at the time of this painting, consistent with the image. Timoteo Viti is another plausible candidate.
