Title

Roots Of Knowledge Panel H2

Description

Recreated in stained glass is The School of Athens, one of a series of Vatican frescoes painted in the early 1500s by Renaissance artist Raphael. Regarded as a masterful interpretation of the Classical Age, the image is a gallery of the eminent Greek philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, Diogenes, etc. Raphael used himself and his peers, including Da Vinci and Michelangelo, as models for the philosophers, a trick the Holdman Studio artists emulated by using their own faces for the figures in the window.
