Sophocles

This plaster cast was acquired in 1898 after a Roman sculpture found in the theatre of Terracina, Italy. The work is a copy of a now lost Greek original from ca. 330 BC, ca. 100 years after Sophocle’s tragedy was first put forward. Sophocle’s tragedies are well known today, such as the tragedy of King Oedipus, who has played a major role in psychoanalysis as the primordial myth of everyone’s guilt, but especially about the boy’s unconscious desire for his own mother and to kill his own father.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.
