Carlo Socrate Art

Carlo Socrate was born in Mezzanabigli in 1889 and was an Italian painter. He spent his early childhood in Argentina where his parents had moved to practice the profession of theater actors. In 1898, he returned to Italy. He studied painting in Florence and moved to Rome in 1914 after he completed his studies. In the beginning, he devoted himself to the scenography for the theater and made acquaintance with the painters who worked in Rome at that time. Among them, he met Picasso in Paris and decided to follow him to complete and enrich his artistic background. After going to Spain, he returned to Rome, where he remained for the rest of his life. In 1931, he exhibited at the 1st National Art Quadrennial in Rome. Socrate died in Rome in 1967.

In 1918, at the Casina Valadier on the Pincian Hill (Rome), he exhibits his Still Life with a Dish of Apples and Onions, which arouses perplexity in the Roman environment for his personal rare “neoclassicism” but at the same time, attentive to European situation in those years.
