This phenomenon is essential for understanding the history of taste, the circulation of iconographic models \u2014 often derived from prints and engravings \u2014 and the revival of techniques that had fallen into disuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The canvas presented here reproduces, with more vibrant colors, Raphael\u2019s School of Athens (1509\u20131510), the fresco in the Stanza della Segnatura in the Apostolic Palace. The room, conceived according to a program dedicated to humanistic culture (theology, philosophy, poetry, and jurisprudence), was probably intended as the library of Pope Julius II but soon came to house the tribunal of the Signatura Gratiae et Iustitiae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The composition, set within a grand Renaissance architectural framework inspired by Bramante, brings together fifty-eight philosophers and mathematicians of antiquity. At the center stand Plato, holding the Timaeus, and Aristotle, holding the Ethics. In the foreground appear Pythagoras writing a book, Euclid demonstrating geometric concepts, and Zoroaster and Ptolemy with their globes; at the far right Raphael\u2019s self-portrait can be recognized. The figure of Heraclitus, bearing the features of Michelangelo, occupies the center of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the niches on either side of the staircase stand two statues inspired by classical models: Apollo on the left, with a lyre, and Minerva on the right, with helmet, spear, and a shield adorned with the head of Medusa. The enamel-like colors and direct light enliven the canvas, giving it a modern character while maintaining substantial adherence to Raphael\u2019s original.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7117,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[47],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/7120"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=7120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
