EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a caricature of the renowned Ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates. With his distinct features and comical expression, this illustration captures the essence of Socrates' influential role in philosophy and science. Known for introducing a new critical attitude towards knowledge, he is often hailed as the wisest man of all time.

Set against a white background with monochromatic tones, this artwork exudes classical charm and historical significance. It transports us back to ancient Greece where Socrates engaged in philosophical debates that shaped Western thought for centuries to come. As an iconic figure in history, this caricature encapsulates not only Socrates' profound impact on philosophy but also highlights key aspects such as logic, ethics, and rhetoric that defined him as an Athenian orator.
