Democritus
- Title
- Democritus
- Student Commentary:
- This portrait of Democritus is featured in Lavater’s Essays on Physiognomy. Blake engraved it, on commission, after a portrait by Rubens. As Lavater notes in his accompanying text, the image depicts not the philosopher, but “Democritus the Laugher.” Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
