School of Athens
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.

over the surrounding countryside.
