Socrates of Athens

Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York. 

(Quite probably my favorite image of my recent trip to the Met.)

Update: JPG Magazine is in my hands, and it's a wonderful thing.  A bit small, in the sense that I was looking forward to new pictures.

Hello,

I was searching for a photograph of Socrates, and found your beautiful shot.

I also found your blog, which I liked. I was once a Jersey girl.

I would like to use your photo in a blog I am setting up. The blog will consist
of commentary and 24 chapters of a book called CONTEMPLATING SOCRATES, which is based on reading the texts in Classical Greek.

I would like your permission to use and credit your photo, presuming this is really a bust of the philosopher who is the subject of Plato's dialogues. He looks as I imagined him, but not as he is typically depicted.

I look forward to your response.

All the best,
Catherine Glass
