Art in the Renaissance

I chose this painting its called School of Athens and it was painted by Raphael. The exact date it was painted is known but it was painted between 1510 and 1511. This painting is a fresco. A fresco is a painting which is panted on to a wall for every body to see. In this piece of art there is a theme of education because the people in this picture are reading out of books and scrolls. There are  people looking over the people with the books and scrolls making it look like they are learning or reading along. There is also facial expressions there the facial expressions also help because we can tell if they are interested or bored and what they are feeling. you also tell by the more clear facial expressions that some of the people in this painting are old and some are younger. this painting shows what there education used to be like.
