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.
