The Death of Socrates

Painting by Jacques-Louis David
APPEARANCES
“The imitator or maker of the image
knows nothing of true existence; he
knows appearances only. Am I not
right?”

“Then the imitator, I said, is a

long way of the truth, and can do
all things because he lightly
touches on a small part of them,
and that part an image.”
COPY OF A COPY

“But does the painter know the right

form of the bit and reins? Nay, hardly
even the workers in brass and leather
who make them; only the horseman
who knows how to use them—he
knows their right form”
