The School of Athens, by Raphael, on the wall of Room of the Segnatura, one of Pope Julius II's private apartments.
Raphael added the figure in front (purple cloak), thought to resemble Michelangelo as homage after seeing
his work on the Sistine Chapel. Both artists were working within yards of each other ~1508-11.
