Description |
Deutsch: Der griechische Philosoph Diogenes (404-323 v. Chr.) sitzt in seiner Behausung, einem Pithos, in der Metroon, Athen. Seine Begleiter waren Hunde, die auch als Symbole seiner "Zyniker" (Griechisch: "Kynikos," Hundeähnliche) Philosophie dienten. Drei Jahre nach der ersten Ausstellung wurde Gerome zum Professor für Malerei an der Ecole des Beaux-Arts ernannt, wo er viele französische und ausländische Studenten unterrichtete. English: The Greek philosopher Diogenes (404-323 BC) is seated in his abode, the earthenware tub, in the Metroon, Athens, lighting the lamp in daylight with which he was to search for an honest man. His companions were dogs that also served as emblems of his "Cynic" (Greek: "kynikos," dog-like) philosophy, which emphasized an austere existence. Three years after this painting was first exhibited, Gerome was appointed a professor of painting at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he would instruct many students, both French and foreign. Français : Le philosophe grec Diogène (404-323 av. J.-C.) assis dans son humble logis, un tonneau en terre cuite dans le quartier Métrôon d'Athènes, allume une lampe en plein jour, signalant qu'il recherche un homme honnête. Les chiens qui l'entourent, des compagnons du philosophe, sont emblématiques du cynisme (du grec kynikos, pareil au chien), qui met de l'avant une vie austère. |
