Socrates’ commitment to his ideals is portrayed with grace and dignity in the masterpiece, “The Death of Socrates,” by Jacques-Louis David (1748 – 1825).

David unveiled this painting, whose virtuosity has been compared to that of Michelangelo and Raphael, as a call to arms on the eve of the French Revolution.
