EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Socrates bidding Farewell to his Family". Created between 1787 and 1790, this plaster sculpture depicts a poignant moment in history. Socrates, the renowned Greek philosopher, is seen saying goodbye to his loved ones before embarking on his final journey. Canova's attention to detail and mastery of neoclassical style are evident in every inch of this artwork. The relief sculpture showcases the profound emotions experienced by both Socrates and his family members. As they embrace one last time, there is an overwhelming sense of affection and sadness permeating the scene. The artist skillfully portrays the essence of ancient Greece through this work. The classical elements combined with Canova's artistic vision transport viewers back to the 18th century when neoclassicism was at its peak. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only Canova's talent but also the enduring legacy of Socrates as a philosopher who shaped Western thought. It serves as a reminder that even great minds must bid farewell eventually, leaving behind their families and loved ones with heavy hearts. Ghigo Roli has beautifully captured this iconic piece from Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Italy. This photograph allows us to admire Canova's genius from afar while contemplating the depth of human emotion depicted within it.
