The people in this painting exist and move not just through space, but also time. “In its inexorable forward flow, time provides us with the chance to develop and grasp the visions of our dreams. Time also creates the stark limits beyond which none of us may extend” (Fichner-Rathus 65). Raphael brilliantly represented three-dimensional space to imply movement and time. The School of Athens captures motion through what is called stopped time. His use of diagonal lines simulate the movement of each person in the artwork. The passage of time is implied through the people being caught in the midst of their movement across the floor, up the stairs, and changing body
