A print of “The School of Athens” by Raphael on your wall
Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and Pythagoras in a single frame - The School of Athens is wall art for a study, a library or a study room that says more about its owner than a diploma on the wall. Raphael built the picture on the perfect perspective of its arches, so a print of The School of Athens gives a room an effect of depth, as if the wall opened onto an ancient hall. The warm beiges of the marble and the blues and reds of the robes play beautifully with walnut wood and bottle green. The wide, horizontal format fits perfectly above a sofa or bookcase, and as wallpaper it creates an illusion of architecture in a boardroom or conference room. Dibond gives it the gravity of a museum panel; 5 mm acrylic glass, saturation and brilliance. You can also order a crop of just the centre with the two philosophers. You enter the dimensions in the artMonte configurator - any size, no fixed templates.

The School of Athens
About the artwork
The School of Athens depicts a gathering of the philosophers of antiquity within monumental vaulted architecture, with Plato and Aristotle at the centre of the composition. Raphael painted the fresco between 1509 and 1511 in the Stanza della Segnatura, today part of the Vatican Museums. According to tradition he gave some of the figures the features of contemporary artists, including Leonardo and Michelangelo. The work is regarded as the quintessence of the High Renaissance - of harmony, perspective and faith in human reason.
