I've become a better person because of this book. I own volume two. Let me know if you would like to borrow it. You must check out volume one at the library.

Raphael’s School of Athens is a “masterpiece” not just because it’s beautiful, but because it solves several hard problems at once—intellectual, compositional, and technical—without looking strained. The architecture and single-point perspective organize a huge crowd into a coherent “space of reason,” guiding the eye while still letting every figure feel distinct. Plato and Aristotle at the center function as a thesis: two orientations of thought—toward first principles and toward the human world—expressed through simple, readable gesture. Around them, Raphael builds believable micro-scenes of debate, teaching, calculation, skepticism, and solitary reflection, so the fresco becomes an image of intellectual life rather than a mere lineup of famous names. Technically, it’s calibrated to be read across a wall and from below—clear silhouettes, balanced rhythm, and luminous unity—so virtuosity never overwhelms meaning. The result is a rare synthesis: idealized beauty, psychological life, and an argument about inquiry as a public, shared pursuit.

A cloister is most commonly an architectural feature consisting of a covered, arched walkway surrounding an open courtyard. Historically, these were central parts of monasteries, cathedrals, or colleges, providing a space for meditation, prayer, and exercise The present convent stands on a site occupied since the 12th century by a Vallombrosan monastery which later passed to the Silvestrines; they were driven out of San Marco in 1418, and in 1438 the convent was given to the Dominican Observants. In 1437 Cosimo il Vecchio de’ Medici decided to rebuild the entire complex, at the suggestion of Antonino Pierozzi the Vicar-General. The work was entrusted to Michelozzo, and the decoration of the walls was carried out between 1439 and 1444 by Giovanni of Fiesole, known as Fra Angelico, and his assistants, who included Benozzo Gozzoli.

Narcissus by Caravaggio c. 1597 – c. 1599 oil on canvas In Metamorphoses, Narcissus is destroyed because he mistakes an image for a being: he falls in love with his reflection, believing it to be another person who reciprocates his desire. His error is not simple vanity but a failure of recognition—he cannot distinguish appearance from reality. Because he is closed to others in life, he becomes trapped in a closed circuit of desire, loving something that has no substance. The mirror thus symbolizes a world where seeming replaces being, and love collapses into self-enclosed illusion.. Italy Art Ovid

Hamlet is my favorite play. Shakespeare played The Ghost. It was the toughest role to play and that is why he played it. He must've been a great actor. Homage to Hamlet.
