Hypatia of AlexandriaRaphael
Portrayed with serene dignity in The School of Athens (1509–1511), this figure is often identified as Hypatia, a philosopher and mathematician from 4th–5th c. AD Alexandria. Painted by Raphael in Rome, her inclusion challenges the male-dominated canon, honoring her tragic death and intellectual legacy as a symbol of wisdom and martyrdom for knowledge.
