EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic depiction of Aristotle by Raphael in The School of Athens. Aristotle, an Athenian philosopher and logician, is widely recognized as one of history's greatest thinkers. Having studied under Plato in Athens, he later returned to his birthplace in Macedon where he had the privilege of tutoring none other than Alexander The Great. Renowned for his intellectual prowess, Aristotle became a revered public teacher who conducted his lessons within the confines of his own garden. His teachings spanned various disciplines including logic, astronomy, zoology, embryology, and physics - making him a true polymath ahead of his time. As a first-class naturalist and marine biologist, Aristotle made significant contributions to our understanding of fauna through meticulous observations and classifications.

He continues to be celebrated as one of the founding fathers of logic and has greatly influenced countless philosophers throughout history. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Aristotle's profound impact on ancient Greece's intellectual landscape while highlighting his pivotal role in shaping the fields of philosophy and science.
