[edit]DescriptionThe Relation of the Individual to the State by John La Farge.png |
English: The Relation of the Individual to the State Socrates and His Friends Discuss "The Republic," as in Plato's Account In this representation, which is not meant to be literal, but typical, Socrates may be said to be talking to the eldest son of his host. One of the other guests, presumable the sophist, Thrasymachus, listens ready to interrupt. The younger son has come in for a moment from the outside – a slave girl with tambourine drops in from one of the processions, to look and listen, and a little further a charioteer drives his horses past. The festival is foreign, so perhaps is the charioteer. The family of Cephalus, the host, is also foreign. If a moment in the discussion be chosen for my representation, it may be the argument of Socrates when he explains to Polemarchus and Thrasymarchus that “the true artist in proceeding according to his art does not do the best for himself, nor consult his own interest, but that of his subject.” In this painting there has been no strict intention of giving an adequate and, therefore, impossible historical representation of something which may never have happened. But there has been a wish to convey, in a typical manner, the serenity and good nature which is the note of the famous book and of Greek thought and philosophy. Hence, the choice of open air and sunlight and a manner of representation that will exclude the mistake of any Academic formality. [1] |
