Description: The Death of Socrates by Jacques Louis David. The eighteenth-century French painter David portrayed Socrates as undaunted at the prospect of death, philosophically engaged while reaching for the cup of poison. Plato is seated on the far left, his writing beside him on the floor. Crito grasps Socrates's robes. Do you think Socrates should have tried to escape death, or did his decision show wisdom?
