Raffaello Sanzio o Santi, aka como Rafael de Urbino Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. The subject of the painting are various famous Greek philosophers. Eevery great Greek philosopher and scientist can be found within the painting.
The bracketed names are the contemporary characters from whom Raphael is thought to have drawn his likenesses. 1: Zeno of Citium or Zeno of Elea? 2: Epicurus 3: Frederik II of Mantua? 4: Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius or Anaximander or Empedocles? 5: Averroes? 6: Pythagoras? 7: Alcibiades or Alexander the Great? 8: Antisthenes or Xenophon? 9: Hypatia (Francesco Maria della Rovere or Raphael's mistress Margherita.) 10: Aeschines or Xenophon? 11: Parmenides? 12: Socrates? 13: Heraclitus (Michelangelo). 14: Plato holding the Timaeus ( Leonardo da Vinci). 15: Aristotle holding the Ethics? 16: Diogenes of Sinope? 17: Plotinus? 18: Euclid or Archimedes with students ( Bramante)? 19: Strabo or Zoroaster? (Baldassare Castiglione or Pietro Bembo). 20: Ptolemy? R: Apelles (Raphael). 21: Protogenes (Il Sodoma or Perugino).[12]
In the center of the painting, in front of the painting's vanishing point, are the two undisputed main subjects, Plato on the left and his student Aristotle on the right. Both figures are holding copies of their own books in their left hands. Plato is holding Timaeus and Aristotle is holding his Nicomachean Ethics. In addition, the two figures are gesturing in different directions. Plato has his right arm pointing to the heavens, which is a reference to Plato's ideas of the The Forms. In contrast, Aristotle gestures to the earth, representing his belief in knowledge through empirical observation and experience.

Supposedly, Plato was designed to resemble Leonardo da Vinci.

Raphael Sanzio was born in Urbino, Italy. He studied in Florence, Siena, and Rome where he was called by the pope Julius II to decorate the Vatican.

Raphael was also recognised as a wonderful architect. Even though he had a short life he was a prolific artist. Raphael was one of the many victims of the black plague, he was buried in the parthenon of Rome. His works are examples of beauty, serenety, and elegance.
