Summary

Het fresco 'De School van Athene' door Rafaël in de Stanza della Segnatura in het Apostolisch paleis in het Vaticaan. Het toont een filosofenschool of agora waar beroemde Griekse filosofen en geleerden, zoals Aristoteles, Plato en Socrates, in groepjes staan te praten. Het is een uitbeelding van de filosofie en haar rationele zoektocht naar de Waarheid.

Printmaking in woodcut and engraving came to Northern Italy within a few decades of their invention north of the Alps. Engraving probably came first to Florence in the 1440s, the goldsmith Maso Finiguerra (1426–64) used the technique. Italian engraving caught the very early Renaissance, 1460–1490. Print copying was a widely accepted practice, as well as copying of paintings viewed as images in their own right.
