Art can be a mirror of society when the painting is of current events, or life at the time of it being painted, and of course not all art was painted. Art can also be a mirror of society if it shows people of the present, where they stand what their social life is like. This can show a great amount of present society. This painting especially mirrors society of that time, showing what people believed in, what they studied, how they may have dressed and other important details.
If I were in the painting, "The School of Athens" by Raphael, I would probably be Apollo. Apollo is a God in Greek and Roman mythology. He is usually known as the god of light and sun, truth and prophecy, archery, medicine and healing, music, poetry and the arts, and several other things but was most commonly the God of art and music. I chose Apollo because I like art and music as well and I thought that we were similar in that way. I love to think creatively and thinking of new ideas, even if I don't always share them all the time.
