本单元的引言出自美国思想家拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生的散文《论美》(Beauty)。在《论美》一文中,爱默生指出:美是人类灵魂的一种需求。人人都有爱美之心,而艺术家不满足于对美的仰慕之情。对美的追求和热爱,激励着艺术家不断创造作品,以新的形式去表现美。这种美的创造就是“艺术”。
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
—— Ralph Waldo Emerson
对美的喜爱是品位。对美的创造是艺术。
——拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生

《雅典学院》是意大利画家拉斐尔·桑西于1510~1511年创作的一幅壁画作品。现收藏于意大利梵蒂冈博物馆。
该画以古希腊哲学家柏拉图举办雅典学院之逸事为题材,以极为兼容并蓄、自由开放的思想,打破时空界限,把代表着哲学、数学、音乐、天文等不同学科领域的文化名人会聚一堂,以回忆历史上黄金时代的形式,寄托了作者对美好未来的向往,表达了对人类中追求智慧和真理者的集中赞扬,反映的是古典时期学派林立、相互切磋的景象。 [10]
画作采用了拱形圆屋顶作为背景,以很高的透视法水平,增强了画面的空间立体感和深远感。整幅画气势恢宏、场面宏大。画中人物栩栩如生、活灵活现。
