The School of Athens (detail)Raphael
This section of Raphael’s cartoon (c. 1510) highlights a group of ancient thinkers absorbed in study and discussion, including figures identified as Pythagoras or Euclid. With dynamic gestures and intricate layering, Raphael explores the transmission of knowledge. The careful modeling in chalk and charcoal exemplifies the intellectual and artistic rigor of the High Renaissance.
