Self-Made Man Statue Symbolic:
Over time, many artworks have sought to embody this symbolic meaning. A notable source of inspiration for these allegorical artists can be traced back to the writings of Neoplatonic philosopher Plotinus, who served as a profound influence on countless Renaissance artists. He expressed this concept beautifully: “Just as a sculptor meticulously carves away excess material, chisels with precision, and polishes with care to unveil the statue’s exquisite countenance, so must you eliminate all superfluous elements and rectify distortions, purifying your inner sculpture until the radiant divinity within gleams brightly, illuminating your path.
