Diogenes by John William Waterhouse Poster
Diogenes by John William Waterhouse, oil on canvas 1882, is an academic history painting of Diogenes of Sinope, founder of the Cynic, later the Stoic, school of ancient Greek philosophy. Diogenes eschewed all worldly wealth and lived in a large jar from the temple of Cybele, shown here. In the foreground is his famous lantern, which he carried in broad daylight, proclaiming that “I am looking for an honest man”, and the onions of his sparse, stoic diet. This early Waterhouse composition is akin to the realism of 19th century history painting than the more painterly, Impressionistic pictures of his later career.

Presentation perfect. Would have liked slightly thicker paper as had difficulty keeping flat in a frame.

Perfect for my needs. This will be laminated and become the backing print for an Aquarium. Could not ne happier with the product and quality.
I also cannot believe how quickly the print arrived. Colors and quality are fantastic.

While I would certainly have preferred to have this quirky poster framed, for what I could afford, this poster option was great. It looks really good on my wall and I'm sure will draw some interesting comments. I'm very happy with the printing quality and colours.
