About the Item
The "White Plaster Bust of Socrates on a Black Marble Base, around 1940" is a striking sculptural piece that pays homage to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. Created circa 1940, this bust captures the intellectual essence and rugged features of Socrates, known for his contributions to ethics and epistemology. The white plaster medium highlights intricate details, such as the philosopher's distinctive facial hair and contemplative expression, evoking a sense of wisdom and introspection. The bust is mounted on a sleek black marble base, offering a modern and elegant contrast to the classical form. This combination of materials not only enhances the visual appeal but also symbolizes the timeless nature of Socratic thought, bridging ancient philosophy with mid-20th century artistry.
