This room exemplifies the vast improvement in Raphael~{!/~}s abilities between the years 1508 and 1512. The vast changes between the figures in the Disputa and the School of Athens show the influence that Raphael was allowed by painting the Segnatura at the same time that Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It is believed that Raphael spent hours on end studying and observing the great works of Michelangelo just a few hundred feet away. Just like early in his career, Raphael was a master of studying and then replicating the works of those with better style and form than his own. In fact, Michelangelo described Raphael~{!/~}s conception as only the median of idealization, meaning that Raphael had to study and work harder than most to achieve his success. Most of the functionality of this room was stated above in the large description of the work.
