Il Cenacolo is a neoplatonic work (Ficino, De amore commentarium in comvivium platonis). Cenacolo = Convivium = Symposio.

The last platonic triad shows Plato, Ficino, arguing about love (mayeutic).

The next platonic triad means: Love is the desire of Beauty perfectioned in God.

The trio (no triad) at right remembers Criton (Plato): do not return bad for bad.

Castiglione undestood that, but not Goethe.
