His drapery, wrapped tightly around him, has the smooth, solid look of a sculpted Roman bust. Half of his face is in shadow and the cold lighting emphasises his long, narrow nose, unkempt hair, unshaven face and furrowed brow.\n\nThe man thrusts a tablet bearing a Latin inscription towards us – translated, it reads: ‘Keep silent, unless your speech is better than silence.’ The phrase is taken from Stobaeus’s Anthologia, a fifth-century collection of extracts from Greek authors. There has been much debate over the sitter’s identity, but recent scholarship has shown that the figure was originally painted as a personification of philosophy.\n\nRosa wished to be recognised as a learned painter of philosophical subjects. He produced this work during the early 1640s for Filippo Niccolini, who belonged to the circle of educated men Rosa befriended during his stay in Florence.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/salvator-rosa-philosophy\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Philosophy\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salvator Rosa","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509963460851,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (45 3\/4\" x 37\")","offer_id":50509963493619,"sku":null,"price":2708.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 7\/8\" x 16 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509963526387,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 3\/8\" x 19 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509963559155,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 7\/8\" x 24 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509963591923,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 1\/2\" x 31 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509963624691,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 1\/4\" x 37 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509963657459,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 1\/2\" x 44 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509963690227,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 3\/8\" x 53\")","offer_id":50509963722995,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/Philosophy.jpg?v=1789289018","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/philosophy-ngal1596","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
