AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sculpture depicting the head of the Greek philosopher Socrates (Athens, 470 BC/469 BC – Athens, 399 BC).
Considered the father of Western philosophy, he has been a source of inspiration for future philosophers, including Plato.
Socrates left no writings by his own choice because he made oral communication the essential tool of his 'doing philosophy' in dialogic form.
Author of the famous phrase: 'Only he who knows that he does not know is wise.'
Professional academic sculpture, entirely handmade by skilled artisans. A piece from a museum plaster-cast collection. The craft has very ancient origins, and is carried out entirely by hand by artists in the sculpting field, made with materials such as scagliola and Carrara marble powder.
The indicated dimensions include the base, if present.
The shipping is entrusted to a packaging company (professional packaging).
