The painting "The School of Athens" by Raphael depicts which classical philosophers?

  1. Socrates and Plato

  2. Aristotle and Cicero

  3. Plato and Aristotle

  4. Socrates and Virgil

The correct answer is: Plato and Aristotle

"Explanation" "The painting "The School of Athens" by Raphael is a representation of famous classical philosophers during Ancient Greece. It is important to note that the painting was commissioned by Pope Julius II, who was known to be a follower of the work of Plato and especially Aristotle. This explains why the painting portrays those two philosophers in the center and as the main focus. While the other options may have been notable philosophers during that time, they are not the main focus of the painting and therefore not the correct answer. Additionally, Socrates and Virgil are not considered classical philosophers, as they did not belong to the same time period as Plato and Aristotle."
