EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the painting "Heraclitus, the Weeping Philosopher" by an anonymous Spanish artist from the 17th century. Measuring 87.6x74.9 cm, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA. The subject of this artwork is Heraclitus of Ephesus, a renowned Greek philosopher who lived between c. 535 and c. 475 BCE. Known as "The Obscure" and "The Weeping". Heraclitus's philosophy was characterized by its paradoxical nature, which earned him these intriguing nicknames. In this portrait, we see an elderly man with a long white beard wearing a cloak or cape clasped together at his chest with clenched hands. His profile reveals deep contemplation and wisdom etched onto his face. Adding to the enigmatic atmosphere surrounding Heraclitus are scientific instruments featured in the background—a testament to his intellectual pursuits and contributions to ancient Greek thought. Through this remarkable painting captured in stunning detail by Bridgeman Images' fine art finder collection, viewers are invited to delve into the profound world of one of history's most influential philosophers—an individual whose ideas continue to resonate centuries later.
