School of Athens, Domenico Cunego, No later than 1803, Graphic Art, Aquatint, The School of Athens, represents rational truth. Here, we see mathematicians, physicians, metaphysicians and others arranged in a series of smaller groups, each discussing or teaching. In the left foreground, the philosopher Pythagoras (570-490 BC) is seated as he explains to those around him the meaning of the word diatessaron – which directly translated means 'at intervals of four', and so relates to the pure fourth in the world of music. The group on the right represents the mathematician Euclid (c. 300 BC) engaged in teaching his pupils geometry. Likewise, logicians, rhetoricians and grammarians are grouped together in Raphael’s (1483-1520), The School of Athens, which in Thorvaldsen’s collections is found for instance in this copperplate engraving by Domenico Cunego., Paper, Color, Printer's ink, Aquatint, Printet, Height (plate size) 680 mm, Height (paper size) 750 mm, Width (plate size) 900 mm, Width (paper size) 980 mm, RAPHAEL, SANCTIVS, PINX, IN AEDIBVS, VATICA, NIS, Thomas.
