1509 and 1511 as a part of Raphael's commission to
decorate the rooms now known as the Stanze di
Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican.
The School of Athens represents all the greatest
mathematicians, philosophers and scientists from
classical antiquity gathered together sharing their
ideas and learning from each other. These figures all
lived at different times, but here they are gathered
together under one roof.

dei Francesi in Rome, where it remains.
The Calling of Saint Matthew depicts the moment
when Jesus Christ inspires Matthew to follow him
and become an apostle.


Conceptual Artmid-
1960s–mid-1970s

INFORMATION:
One and Three Chairs, 1965, is a work by Joseph
Kosuth. An example of conceptual art, the piece
consists of a chair, a photograph of the chair, and an
enlarged dictionary definition of the word "chair"
In One and Three Chairs, Joseph Kosuth represents
one chair three ways: as a manufactured chair, as a
photograph, and as a copy of a dictionary entry for
the word “chair.” The installation is thus composed
of an object, an image, and words.


Contemporary
Art1970–present
INFORMATION:
Michael Jackson and Bubbles is a porcelain
sculpture by the American artist Jeff Koons. It was
created in 1988 within the framework of his Banality
series
It's based on a press photo of the two, and it is
nearly indistinguishable from that image. Just like in
the vacuum cleaner series, Jeff Koons reimagines
the pop star as a god-like creature and depicts the
essence and culture of celebrity worship in the pop
space.
