EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable carnelian engraved gem portrait of the esteemed Greek philosopher, Sokrates. Dating back to the Late Republican and Early Imperial period, around the 1st century BC, this Roman artifact is a true testament to ancient craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 9/16 x 7/16 inches (14.11 cm), this sard carnelian gem depicts Sokrates in an iconic pose - reclining with his hand raised. The intricately carved details highlight his bearded face and bald head with a broad bulbous nose, resembling the likeness of Silenus. The artwork is generally attributed to the early Hellenistic period and bears resemblance to the work of renowned sculptor Lysippos. Sokrates' representation in this gem has been widely accepted by scholars due to its distinctive features. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the intellectual world of ancient Greece. This print not only captures an exquisite artifact but also serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and significance of ancient civilizations.
