School of Athens

I was probably 13 when I read my first philosophy book, Candide written by Voltaire… since then I’ve read around 200 books, Friedrich Nietzsche being my favorite.

So big is my fascination about the topic that for years and years the wallpaper on my computer was always the school of Athens, a very beautiful painting from Raphael. What is funny is that I never checked where the painting was actually located.

Back in August, after our company AGM, I spent a week with my family in Rome.

During a tour of the Vatican, I accidentally ended up in a very big room and then my son said: ‘look dad, that guy is so tired that he is sitting on the stairs’… When I looked, I was just shocked… The guy that Arthur mentioned is nobody but Aristotle and the painting, yes, was the school of Athens… I wish I had 10 hours to spend simply looking at that and admiring one of my favorite pieces of art ever.
