Richmond was in Italy from 1837 to 1839 spending part of the time with Samuel Palmer on his honeymoon. He made an intensive study of the Old Masters, hoping to incorporate their lessons into his art much as Sir Joshua Reynolds had done. This painting shows Archimedes with his pupils, copied from Raphael's fresco of 'The School of Athens' in the Vatican.
