Portion of School of Athens, Raphael, in the Signature Room of the Vatican Stanze which were the apartments of Julius II (1503-13),Vatican Museums. This portion shows Plato and Aristotle. Plato resembles Leonardo da Vinci; he points to the sky, alluding to world of ideas; Aristotle turns down the palm of his hand, a reference to rational principles of his philosophy. Diogenes reclines on the steps. 13:11:54 October 11, 2001
