The School of Athens or "Scuola di Atene" in Italian is one of the most famous paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael.

Comment - could someone do the same thing (i.e., download and stitch the image together) for The Last Judgment (Michelangelo) from the Vatican's website. The current picture isn't as good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Remember (talkcontribs) 18:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
