Tossup

A figure speculated to be this painting’s only woman appears in a white robe near a man driving away three youths carrying a scroll. Guerino (10[1])Mazzola analyzed a drawn six pointed star in this painting (10[1])on a small chalkboard. (10[1])This painting is housed with the artist’s Parnassus and La Disputa in the Stanza della Segnatura (“sen-yah-TOO-rah”). A man in this painting lays on some stairs and reads a paper (10[3])underneath (10[1])a massive honeycomb-decorated hallway. One of the (10[1])two central figures in this painting holds (-5[1])a copy of his Nicomachean Ethics (10[1])while the other, likely modeled after Leonardo Da Vinci, points upwards towards the sky. For 10 (10[1])points, Plato, (-5[1])Aristotle, and other philosophers appear in what fresco by Raphael? ■END■ (0[2])
