A full-scale re-enactment of one of the most famous artworks of the Italian Renaissance has been launched in Dublin - with a striking twist.
Artist collective Na Cailleacha collaborated with staff and students from Trinity College Dublin to produce a contemporary version of Raphael's School of Athens painting.
"The original painting was set in classical, ancient Greece, with 50 men in it, including Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, people like that.
"I think it's both an acknowledgement of the changing in society, the changing in education, but fundamentally the changing of Ireland."
