Description:
|
|
The ceiling design is attributed to Sodoma, but he painted only the central octagon and the small spaces between the tondi. Evidence of Raphael's numerous surviving drawings suggest that the program was not fixed, but evolved in response to the artist’s own ideas, the patron’s changing ambitions and the opportunities offered by the space. Raphael painted the personifications of Philosophy, Poetry, Theology, and Justice, as well as the four large panels in the corners, whose subjects refer to the two adjacent personifications (thus, for example, the Judgment of Solomon is placed between Justice and Philosophy). The architectural frames and their decorations are thought to be the work of a German painter, Jan Ruysch. The tondi repeat the themes of the entire room as a humanist quadripartition of culture; theology, philosophy, poetry and justice. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
