EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Cimon is ostracised" takes us back to the ancient court of Athens in the 19th century. The image depicts a significant event in Greek history, capturing the moment when Cimon, one of Greece's most famous politicians and nobles, is exiled from his homeland. The scene showcases a gathering of influential Greeks, with Pericles standing prominently amongst them. The classical setting transports us to an era where power struggles and political rivalries were commonplace. Ostraka, small pottery shards used for voting during the process of ostracism, can be seen scattered on the ground as evidence of this democratic practice. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded that even great figures like Cimon faced exile due to their policies or personal disputes. This print serves as a visual reminder of how politics and power dynamics have shaped societies throughout time. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Greece's vibrant past. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of human nature and our constant quest for influence and control within society. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece that not only preserves history but also sparks curiosity about our collective heritage.
