Something wrong?![Portrait of Thomas Taylor by Sir Thomas Lawrence, about 1812, from the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. In the background the Acropolis of Athens is silhouetted against a fiery sky, and by Taylor's left hand is a copy of his translation of the works of Plato.[1]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Thomas_Taylor_%28painting_by_Thomas_Lawrence%29.png/500px-Thomas_Taylor_%28painting_by_Thomas_Lawrence%29.png)
