the edits of the school


Rafael

School Of Athens 1509–1510

Fresco 500 cm × 770 cm (200 in × 300 in)


I do enjoy this art for how it was created. As a fresco it is a lot of work to get the detail and simplicity in it. But you can look closely and see full parts of this and see faces and pieces that are so detailed you would not believe it. The fact he even included himself, Donatello, and Leonardo. He made it as if they were all students of this school and had full idealism of what he wanted to show. It is an amazing artwork that has so many hidden meanings that there are thousands of different ideas of what it all means.
