Painting Description:
"The central figures of Raphael's fresco are philosophers Plato (left) and Aristotle; Plato points to the heavens and the realm of forms, Aristotle to the earth and the realm of things. On the left of the School Of Athens painting, Socrates is represented with a brown tunic. Dressed in pink at the forefront appears Pythagoras, the founder of geometry and architecture."
"The father of modern geometry, Euclid appears on the right with a red tunic while teaching a disciple. Right next to Euclid is Ptolemy: the great mathematician and astronomer, with a terrestrial globe in his hand and wearing a yellow robe. An old gentleman sprawled on the steps appears to be Diogenes, the founder of the Cynic philosophy. The character seated in the first row with his head resting on his hand appears to be the philosopher Heraclitus."
"Considered Raphael's greatest work, the School of Athens was painted between 1508 and 1511 and resides in the "Stanza della Signatura" within the Vatican Palace." (via The Vatican)
