In this rendition of Raphael’s classic School of Athens, our beloved thinkers find themselves in a heavenly atrium, In the Clouds of Athens, reviving their love of wisdom and knowledge. Some new faces have arrived since its first debut in the 16th century. Above the room filled with enlightened thinkers is engraved “Cogito Ergo Creo,” which translates to “I think, therefore I create.”

The painting includes some familiar faces Raphael originally included, as well as some new faces I added. I will update the list of everyone featured soon; stay tuned!
