The School of Athens is one of the most famous paintings of artist Rafael Sanzio. It was made in sketch between 1509 and 1510 and painted between 1510 and 1512 as part of a commission to decorate with frescoes the rooms that are today known as the Raphael, located at the Vatican. Stanza della Segnatura was the first to be decorated, and The School of Athens the second painting to be finished after Disputation of the Holy Sacrament.


Its base is 7.70 m and height of 5.00 m. It is situated opposite Disputation of the Holy Sacrament. Philosophy represents, through a scene in which a session between the classical philosophers is narrated. In this work, Rafael adapts the space to the laws of the surface. Arrange the figures from left to right. The prospect is broken by the protruding side walls
