Description: This bust depicting Socrates (469-399 BC) could perhaps be part of a reproduction of an original posthostumous sculpture by Lysippos around 318-317 BC depicting the philosopher seated. We know that the original in bronze, now lost, had been commissioned to Lysippos by Athens because they regretted condemning Socrates to death. Sokrates was the intellectual father of Hellenistic philosophy. His self-denying pursuit of knowledge brought him into conflict with the piety laws of his native Athens, where his eventual prosecution led to enforced suicide. The sculpture is located at the Louvre in Paris. This reproduction is carved from a solid block of the finest Greek marble. Our marble is white with occasional veins of different colorations. For this reason every sculpture is unique. And don't forget, marble lasts forever. Dimensions : Height 15 cm (5.9 inches) Diameter 7 cm (2.75 inches) Weight 1 Kg Will ship worldwide.
