The School of Athens by Raphael: Great Art Explained
In the early 1500s, two of the greatest artists of all time were working just a few rooms apart in the Vatican. Michelangelo was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the same time Raphael was working on a painting in the Pope's private library: The School of Athens. Both are considered masterpieces of the Renaissance.
