How does the School of Athens by Raphael exemplify the characteristics of Renaissance art?

The School of Athens, by Raphael, is a prototypical Renaissance painting for many reasons.  The most obvious characteristic is the use of three-dimensional painting that utilizes the horizon, perspective, and a full background. The architecture and setting speak of a desire to glorify classical Rome and Greece, which were important characteristics of Renaissance art.  This is especially true when you look at the arches and the style of dress of the individuals.  The figures in the painting are drawn with intricate detail to the physical form and a keen interest in being anatomically accurate.  The individuals are painted with life-like detail.  Although the scene is a depiction of the practice of philosophical discourse, it demonstrates a lot of movement.  The details from the painting that have been mentioned are all important characteristics of Renaissance art and are demonstrated in Raphael's masterpiece.
