EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient civilization, showcasing a remarkable artifact from the Hall of the Philosophers at the renowned Capitoline Museum in Rome. The subject of this print is none other than Periander, the tyrant of Corinth, who also held esteemed status as one of the Seven Sages. Dating back to approximately 1890, this image transports us to a time when Roman art flourished and Europe was immersed in its rich cultural heritage. The bust itself dates back even further, originating from the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD. Periander's likeness is exquisitely preserved in stone, revealing intricate details that speak volumes about his character and influence. His face bears an expression both wise and commanding, reflecting his dual role as a ruler and philosopher. Every contour and line etched into this masterpiece tells a story of power, intellect, and artistic prowess. The brooch adorning Periander's garment adds an element of fashion to this historical portrait. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, personal style played a significant role in self-expression. His hairstyle showcases meticulous craftsmanship while emphasizing his noble stature. This attention to detail extends throughout every aspect captured within this frame – from facial features to body proportions – all contributing to an awe-inspiring representation of human form. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece through Anderson's lens, we are transported not only through time but also into Periander's world; where poetry intertwined with politics and philosophy shaped civilizations. This photograph encapsulates centuries worth of history within its frame - reminding us just how interconnected our present is with our past.
