The image displayed is that of Raphael’s School of Athens. An often-used image to represent the Renaissance, the painting displays many of the most prominent intellects of history. As it relates to the architectural ideals of the era, one can easily see a Hellenistic beauty standard applied to the work. The fact that many of the idolized figures in the piece are from the days of ancient Greece, speaks to the prominence being placed on this era. The love of the ancients is what perfectly epitomizes the architecture of the Renaissance. Back in fad were classical proportions and set standards of beauty. This painting serves as a reminder that the visual arts worked in unison with architectural development.
