THE RAPHAEL CARTOON | EUCLIDES AND HIS DISCIPLES

A group of people interested in geometry surrpunds the character who is drawing a figure with a compass; he is identified with Euclid, the philosopher who systematized classical geometry and provided the foundations of geometric science with the Elements. According to Vasari, this philosopher is depicted with the features of Donato Bramante.
The figures around Euclid are not identifiable with ancient philosophers.
