ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Diogenes" - marble sculpture This original hand carved solid marble sculpture on a beautiful walnut wood stand is one of the latest artworks of the talented professional Bulgarian sculptor Rasho Mitev, deeply inspired by modernism, naturalism and neoclassicism portraiture. It represents one unique male head portrait. It is one extraordinary valuable art object and exquisite modern home décor. Diogenes is a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic philosophy. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea coast of Anatolia in 412 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC. Diogenes was a controversial figure. His father minted coins for a living, and Diogenes was banished from Sinope when he took to debasement of currency. After being exiled, he moved to Athens and criticized many cultural conventions of the city. He modeled himself on the example of Heracles, and believed that virtue was better revealed in action than in theory. He used his simple lifestyle and behavior to criticize the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt, confused society. He had a reputation for sleeping and eating wherever he chose in a highly non-traditional fashion, and took to toughening himself against nature. He declared himself a cosmopolitan and a citizen of the world rather than claiming allegiance to just one place. There are many tales about his dogging Antisthenes' footsteps and becoming his "faithful hound".
