This is sheer Art ........



As soon as I saw this, my 1st reaction was - What the ....... (i.e. it completely blew me). It is titled "The School of Athens". Probably all the major western philosophers are depicted in this. It was made by Raphael around 1510.  Every one is alive in this one.......


It makes a person like me with minimal knowledge of art wonder, so it actually is a great work :).
