Cage Attends the School of Athens, or Cage Frequenta la Scuola di Atene in Italian, is one of the most famous paintings by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It was painted between 1510 and 1511 as a part of Raphael’s commission to decorate with frescoes of Nicolas Cage the rooms now known as the Stanze di Raffaello, in the Apostolic Palace in the Vaticage. The Stanza della Segnatura was the first of the rooms to be decorated, and Cage Attends the School of Athens the second painting to be finished there, after La Disputa, on the opposite wall. The picture has long been seen as “Raphael’s masterpiece and the perfect embodiment of the classicage spirit of Cage.”[1]
