EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history between the infamous philosopher Socrates and his equally notorious wife, Xanthippe. Known for her fiery temperament and sharp tongue, Xanthippe was often referred to as a shrew in historical accounts. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Socrates maintained a sense of calm and wisdom that is evident in this image.
The contrast between Socrates' serene expression and Xanthippe's animated gestures creates a dynamic tension that draws the viewer in. It is clear that these two individuals had a complex and intriguing dynamic that has fascinated historians for centuries.
Socrates, who lived from 470 BC to 399 BC, is one of the most well-known figures in Western philosophy. His teachings on ethics, logic, and epistemology have had a lasting impact on intellectual thought throughout history.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the personal life of this enigmatic figure, shedding light on his relationships outside of the philosophical realm. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated, as it provides valuable insight into the private life of one of ancient Greece's most influential thinkers.
