Does this remind you of Scuola di Atene?


Peter's Confrontation with Simon Magus by Avanzino Nucci, 1620

Now compare:

Rafaello's Scuola di Atene, 1509-1511

I would like to know whether there are any other paintings similar to these. They both seem very esoteric me, which makes me wonder whether there is also a gnostic tradition in painting.
