Raphael, School of Athens, 1509 - 15011

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, or Raphael, painted this work of art for Pope Julius II in Rome. I like this portrait because Raphael included some of the worlds great philosophers, and a self portrait of himself. I also like Raphael's use of linear perspective. The structures within the painting appears to recede deep into space.
