This work is one of the most famous representations of one of the most admirable and loved philosophers: Diogenes (412/323 B.C.), the main representative of the School of Cynic Philosophy. How is 3 minutos de arte supported Diogenes (1860). With Diogenes in darkness, Waterhouse marks him as confused if not a fool. We could make this publication thanks to small donations. His lantern, presumably dimmed after a hard day of searching for an honest man, stands more useless than usual on the edge of a curious lip this might be taken as a gesture of appreciation, though it's at best half-hearted. At most the girls' faces are in shadow, but darkness covers all of Diogenes's upper half, reaching its darkest at his very seat. Paper a bit soiled, with some browning along edges and some minor creasing. The range of his oeuvre included historical. Etching and Engraving by Theodoor Galle (1571-1633), 1606. All this stands fairly along the lines of Diogenes's own practive of cynicism.Īlthough the bright colors of the girls' togas provide a marked and already favored contrast to Diogene's garb, the light provides the primary commentary on the scene. Jean-Lon Grme was a French painter and sculptor in the style now known as academicism. The young ladies with their fine robes, basket of picked flowers, and fashionable though absurdly anachronistic parasols are fine examples of this the temple stands as a monument to human progress, separated by composition as well as space from the philosopher.

Diogenes, Ugo da Carpi (Italy, Carpi, circa 1468/70-1532) Francesco Parmigianino (Italy, 1503-1540), Italy, circa 1527-1530 later printing. The unshod tub-dweller in shadow wears the mantle of subject in Waterhouse's painting and earns the inquisitive attention of some fancy-free young ladies. Art thou certain thou hast given to Socrates all his irony and perspicacity, or even all his virtue Plato.
