Question

Raphael’s mural The School of Athens depicts a philosophical discussion. Some writers have noticed that there are no women depicted in the work. There were women active in ancient Greece in the realms of poetry and literature. Does that make this a sexist painting?

Answer 1

No. It is true that the elite ruled in classical Athens. The School of Athens was only for men. The majority of women were too preoccupied taking care of the household duties to care for the children, help with the farm, or weave.

What is the importance of The School of Athens?

All of the classical antiquity's brightest mathematicians, philosophers, and scientists congregated at the School of Athens to exchange ideas and learn from one another.

Raphael depicted the School of Athens, one of the greatest schools of antiquity, as a sort of school reunion. The painting's distinguishing feature is that certain objects appear to be nearby while others appear to be far away.
