# the School of Athens

*The School of Athens* is a fresco work created by the Italian painter Raphael Sanzio in Vatican Palace from 1510 to 1511. As one of the “Philosophy” series, this painting is based on the anecdote of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato establishing the School of Athens in 387th BC. *The School of Athens r*ecalls the golden age of humanity and indicates the recovery of rationality bred from the soil of ancient Greece.

Elites from every occupation were having equal and elegant discussions, pursuing excellence and rationality. This idea of searching for truth, virtue, and beauty is exactly the concept of JZL Garden in the Web3.0 era.
