This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the mosaic panel titled "Socrates on The Mount of Knowledge". Designed by the renowned artist Bernadino di Betto, also known as Pinturicchio, and set in the floor of the Duomo of Siena, this masterpiece dates back to 1505-6 during the Renaissance period. The image depicts Socrates, one of history's greatest philosophers, within an allegory known as "The Allegory of the Mount of Knowledge". This intricate symbolism showcases several wise men ascending a mountain towards Sapientia, the goddess of wisdom. It serves as a powerful reminder that attaining wisdom is no easy feat; it requires perseverance and dedication.
