Affresco rappresentante la Teologia nelle Loggie di Raffaello

A crowned female figure representing Theology sits enthroned upon clouds, gesturing downward with her right hand while holding a book in her left. She is flanked by two winged putti who hold placards inscribed with the Latin phrase 'Divinarum Rerum Notitia.' This 19th-century engraving reproduces one of the four circular ceiling medallions that oversee the famous School of Athens fresco.

The figure embodies the Renaissance synthesis of Christian revelation and Neoplatonic thought, representing the highest form of knowledge. The inscription 'Knowledge of divine things' is the classical definition of wisdom used by Cicero and in Justinian’s Institutes, signaling the harmonizing of legal, philosophical, and sacred traditions.
