EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Socrates, a renowned Athenian moral philosopher from ancient Greece. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait showcases Socrates' distinctive features, including his long beard and thoughtful expression. Socrates was a highly influential thinker whose ethical traditions continue to shape Western thought today. Despite serving as a hoplite in the Peloponnesian War, it was his philosophical inquiries into justice that truly made him notorious among prominent Athenians. His paradoxical wisdom often left those around him feeling foolish and challenged their preconceived notions. However, this intellectual pursuit eventually led to his downfall. Found guilty of impiety at trial, Socrates was sentenced to death by poisoning himself with hemlock. This tragic end only added to the mystique surrounding his life and teachings. The image is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin respectively. It serves as a powerful reminder of Socrates' enduring legacy as one of history's greatest philosophers.
