EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medallion featuring a bas relief bust of either Archimedes or Sophocles, sculpted in marble during the 1st century AD by Roman artisans. The exquisite piece is housed in the Musei Capitolini, Rome, Italy, and has been expertly captured by Stefano Baldini. The medallion pays homage to two influential figures from antiquity - Archimedes and Sophocles. Archimedes, renowned as an engineer and physicist, left an indelible mark on Greek history with his groundbreaking discoveries. Meanwhile, Sophocles was a celebrated writer and philosopher whose works continue to inspire generations. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. The intricate details of the bearded face are meticulously carved into the marble surface with great precision. This classical portrait captures the essence of these esteemed individuals while embodying the artistic finesse prevalent during ancient times. As we gaze upon this medallion, we are transported back to a bygone era when Greece flourished intellectually and artistically. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate us today. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this masterpiece through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Musei Capitolini.
