Document Summary
Azor, sadoch; puts those words there because ________ Bromante works on the rebuilding of the st. peters. Raphael, philosophy (school of athens), 1510-11, stella della segnatura, vatican. Plato is pointing up, socrates is talking to a group. Plato is pointing up because he believed all the answers to the universe were somewhere in the universe. Aristotle pointed down because he believed in more empirical things. Raphael was into the composition, beautiful color, perfect orthogonals/linear perspective- there is one point perspective in painting, meets at the heads of aristotle and plato. He cropped the architecture, and didn"t show everything but you assume that it"s a humungous building. The figures still have good size to show its importance. Man in the front is a portrait of michelangelo wearing sculptors clothes. Rafael is in the right side as well. Bromante is also in drawing on the slate. The pope who commissioned this died before the painting was done.
