Raphael

	"The astronomers and geometers are using compasses to draw innumerable figures and characters on their tables; and it is hardly possible to describe how splendid they look. Among them is a handsomely built young man who is inclining his head and throwing out his arms in admiration; this is a portrait of Duke Federigo II of Mantua." I-292 Astronomers (School of Athens)
	"Similarly, there is a figure stooping down and holding in its hand a pair of compasses with which he is making a circle on one of the tablets; and this, they say, is the architect Bramante, portrayed so realistically that he seems to be alive." I-292 Euclid - portrait of Bramante (School of Athens)
	"Beside a figure with its back turned, holding a globe of the heavens, is a portrait of Zoraster, and next to him is Raphael, the artist himself, in a self portrait drawn with the help of a mirror. He is shown with a youthful head, an air of great modesty, and a gracious and attractive manner, and he is wearing a black cap." I-292 Zoroaster, Ptolemy, Raphael and Sodoma (School of Athens)
	"In each of the [ceiling] medallions Raphael painted a figure symbolising the scene beneath. For the first scene, there is a woman representing Philosophy, seated on a throne supported on either side by a figure of the goddess Cybele shown wearing the many breasts with which the ancients used to depict Diana Polymastes. Her dress is composed of four colours representing the various elements:" I-293 Philosophy (ceiling medallion)
	"In another tondo ...Raphael depicted Poetry, in the person of Polyhymnia crowned with laurel; with her legs crossed she is holding an archaic musical instrument in one hand and a book in the other." I-293 Poetry (ceiling medallion)
	"Over the scene where the Doctors of the Church are deciding the form of the Mass, Raphael depicted Theology surrounded by books and other appropriate objects and also accompanied by many beautiful putti." I-293 Theology (ceiling medallion)
	"And above another window, in the fourth medallion, he depicted Justice with her scales and uplifted sword and with the same putti as accompany the other figures." I-294 Justice (ceiling medallion)
	"Similarly, on the same ceiling in the angles of the pendentives he did four scenes meticulously drawn and coloured, but with figures of no great size. Near the picture of Theology he depicted Adam sinning by eating the apple." I-294 Adam and Eve (pendentive)
	"In the second scene he showed the figure of Astrology setting the fixed stars and planets in their places." I-294 Astrology ordering the heavens (pendentive)
	"Then, near Mount Parnassus, he showed Marsyas bound to a tree and flayed at the command of Apollo." I-294 The Flaying of Marsyas (pendentive)
	"And near the scene showing the promulgation of the decretals he depicted the Judgement of Solomon, who is proposing that the child be cut in two." I-294 The Judgement of Solomon (pendentive)
