by Jean Delville
'Plato's School' by #JeanDelville is a decoration intended for the Sorbonne but never installed there. Its monumental size and its ambitious message – an interpretation of classical philosophy seen through the prism of the symbolist ideal – set it apart.
"I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love"

Non innalzate lapidi. La Rosa
sola fiorisca ad onorarlo ogni anno.
Perché è Orfeo sempre.
E l’una o l’altra voce
Altro non è che la sua metamorfosi.

Jean Delville was a Belgian painter (1867-1953). He was a Neoplatonist & Theosophist who believed in a higher realm. Following the failure of the ‘New Christ’ Krishnamurti in 1929, he had a burn-out & left his family for a young woman. His art and Theosophy fell out of fashion.
