The School of Athens
The Parnassus (, referring to Mount Parnassus) is a fresco painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael in the Raphael Rooms ("Stanze di Raffaello"), in the Palace of the Vatican in Rome, painted at the commission of Pope Julius II. It was probably the second wall of the "Stanza della Segnatura" to be painted between 1509 and 1511, after "La Disputa" and before "The School of Athens", which occupy other walls of the room.
