The reason that i really liked this painting which is done by Raphael and is called Rapahel paints wisdom, is because its a self portrait, and i also think that it is a self model of how he depicts himself. I really love the way that he makes him self seem smarter just by making a light green color for the background, putting the expression on his face, and then making his clothing all darker, it's just absolutly spectacular. I'm very fond of this because of the way that makes him self look as well and i think that is just awesome, because it takes a man full of lots of confidence to do something like Raphael does in this painting, and i think its just great.
