In the room containing it, the other three walls are decorated by Parnassus, Cardinal Virtues, and Disputa. It was commissioned by Pope Julius II as part of the Stanza della Signatura, the library of his apartment. The architecture depicted in it was derived almost entirely from Bramante, and hence, Bramante's face appears on a man giving a mathematical demonstration. The central figures hold up the Timaeus and Ethics, and completely ignore Diogenes, who lies at their feet. For ten points, Plato and Aristotle are at the center of this Raphael fresco representing a compendium of philosophers.
