Marble portrait head of the philosopher Chrysippos 1st century A.D. Roman Copy of a Greek statue of the late 3rd century B.C., probably by EuboulidesChrysippos was one of the most important Stoic philosophers of the third century B.C. His writings helped establish Stoicism as a major philosophical movement. Stoicism held that human beings should be free from passion and calmly accept all occurrences as the unavoidable result of divine will. The term Stoic derives from the Greek word stoa, a type of colonnaded building in which the philosophers gathered.It is clear from other copies of this type that Chrysippos was usually represented seated, as a fragile elderly man with his right hand outstretched as if in the midst of making a point. In a manner characteristic of most early Hellenistic art, the viewer would be drawn into the pictorial space and become, as it were, the philosopher's interlocutor. His winning intellect, eloquently conveyed in the features of this head, would have contr

Cleisthenes (also Clisthenes or Kleisthenes) was a noble Athenian of the Alcmaeonid family. He is credited with reforming the constitution of ancient Athens and setting it on a democratic footing in 508/7 BCE. For these accomplishments, historians refer to him as 'The Father of Athenian Democracy'. He was the maternal grandson of the tyrant Cleisthenes of Sicyon, as the younger son of the latter's daughter Agariste and her husband Megacles. Also, he was credited for increasing powers of assembly and he also broke up the power of the nobility of Athens.

Saint Paul ca. 1420-30 Circle of Claus de Werve According to medieval artistic conventions, Saint Paul is traditionally identified by his bald head and long beard, a sword, the instrument of his martyrdom, and a book, representing his writings. While working within a specified tradition, this Burgundian sculptor invested his carved Saint Paul with exceptional vitality and intelligence. Pauls left knee pushes against the fabric of his robe, suggesting a relaxed, but attentive posture. His inclined head and furrowed brow project a sense of resolute determination and quiet solemnity. These qualities were especially important for a statue that presided over a private chapel, where the saint served as a heavenly advocate for the de Plaine family.
