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 Mazzola analyzed a drawn six pointed star in this painting on a small chalkboard. 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 underneath a massive honeycomb-decorated (-5[1])hallway. (-5[1])One of the two (10[1])central figures in this painting holds a copy of his Nicomachean Ethics (10[1])while the other, (-5[1])likely modeled after Leonardo (10[1])Da Vinci, points (10[1])upwards towards (-5[1])the sky. For 10 points, Plato, Aristotle, and other philosophers appear in what fresco (10[1])by Raphael? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
