How can art be a mirror of society??

How can art be a mirror of society? This question can be answered by the painting "The School of Athens". As you can see in the picture, there are men and women that are teaching. By showing this, you can say that from this time of Renaissance, women were starting to have the same education as men do. Another thing you can say is that the colors that are used. In this painting, Raphael is using all kinds of different colors and he is making a balance of the colors. In the painting, there is a dome shape on the top, so you can tell that this painting is from the time of Renaissance. By using a lot of different techniques, you can tell when it was painted, and you can tell that art is a mirror of society.
