EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving of Pericles, created by the English School in the 19th century, transports us back to ancient Greece. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the remarkable talent and attention to detail that characterized this era of artistry. Pericles, one of the most influential statesmen and orators in Athenian history, is depicted here with an air of authority and wisdom. His strong features are beautifully captured through delicate lines and shading techniques employed by the skilled engraver. The image was originally commissioned for A Pictorial History of the World's Great Nations by Charlotte M Yonge in 1880. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail without any distractions. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we can't help but be reminded of Pericles' significant contributions to Athens during its Golden Age. Known for his democratic reforms and patronage of arts and literature, he played a pivotal role in shaping Greek civilization as we know it today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print serves as a window into both ancient Greece's grandeur and the artistic prowess prevalent during England's 19th-century revival period. It stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to capture its essence through visual representation.
