Huh… maybe my perception of Aristotle is a caricature. I don’t know why I thought of him as living in very rudimentary spaces and wearing basic clothing. This painting suggests otherwise. I wonder to what extent it is historically accurate.

I can't speak for the environments, but clothing was fairly basic two part tunics for most people during Aristotle's time. This painting was done 1300 years after his death, and during a time when much of history could be just conjecture.
