Jacques-Louis David, The Death of Socrates, oil on canvas, 1787, Metropolitan Musium of Art. Socrates continues to speak even while reaching for the cup (of poison), demonstrating his indifference to death and his unyielding commitment to his ideals. Most of his disciplines and slaves swirl around him in grief, betraying the weakness of emotionalism. His wife is seen only in the distance leaving the prison. Only Plato, at the foot of the bed and Crito grasping his master’s leg, seem in control of themselves. (Source)
