This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The School of Athens designed from a painting by Raffaello Sanzio shows a gathering of classical philosophers sharing ideas within a grand, vaulted hall. You can almost catch the clean scent of old parchment drifting through the stone corridors while a gentle breeze cools the air. For an artisan like myself, the way the soft daylight catches the towering arches is simply breathtaking! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
