Diogenes - a photo on Flickriver

Diogenes

             ... on the "School of Athens" fresco.

Diogenes (412-323 BC) was a Greek philosopher and an early pioneer of Cynic philosophy. He was a controversial figure and both espoused and followed the Cynic ideal of living a simple basic life of natural virtue, free from all unnecessary possessions.  He was said to have lived almost like a beggar, sleeping and eating wherever he chose; he committed obscene acts in public.

Diogenes courted controversy and had open disputes with the great men of his day; mocking Alexander the Great in public and criticizing Plato and even disrupted his lectures.  Raphael's depiction reflects this; he is poorly dressed and is set apart and isolated from the other figures.
