苏格拉底之死

Jacques Louis David French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 634

雅典政府指控苏格拉底不信神并且用他的教导腐蚀青年，因此给了他两个选择，要么宣布放弃自己的信仰，要么服毒堇汁而死。在达维特的画笔下，苏格拉底镇定地向他悲伤的弟子们讲述灵魂永生的道理。这幅画中斯多葛式的主题大致以柏拉图的《斐多篇》为蓝本，它可能是达维特最完美的新古典主义表述。版画家、出版者约翰·保德勒在给乔舒亚·雷诺兹爵士的信中说这幅画是“自西斯廷礼拜堂天顶画和拉斐尔画室以来最伟大的艺术成就…这件作品会让伯里克利时代的雅典为之骄傲。”
