A Mural’s Morals

173900442

Based on Raphael’s famous fresco “The School of Athens,” this mural helps the Church of Philadelphia, 1629 Snyder Ave., to preach a message of inclusivity. The worship site is celebrating its 55th anniversary as a haven for residents of Newbold and beyond, with the artwork’s creator offering a contemporary take on the High Renaissance’s insistence on seeking out camaraderie and wisdom.
