A Wikipedia article on Raphael's fresco "The School of Athens" (1509-1511), Stanza della Segnatura, Apostolic Palace, Vatican, identifying an elder Plato beside a younger Aristotle at centre, Socrates immediately recognizable from Classical busts, and Pythagoras, Euclid and Ptolemy in surrounding groups, while cautioning that several other figures, including Epicurus and Archimedes, are speculative or only commonly alleged identifications.
