EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print captures the legendary sculptor Phidias diligently working on his renowned statue of Minerva. Created by the European School in the 19th century, this artwork now resides in a private collection, showcasing its timeless beauty and historical significance. Phidias, one of ancient Greece's most celebrated sculptors, is depicted here immersed in his craft within his classical workshop. The scene transports us back to Athens during the height of its cultural and artistic glory. As Pericles' trusted artist, Phidias was entrusted with creating masterpieces that would forever shape Greek art history. The attention to detail in this print allows us to witness Phidias' meticulous craftsmanship as he meticulously sculpts every curve and contour of Minerva's divine form. The goddess herself stands tall and majestic, embodying wisdom and strength - qualities revered by both Greeks and Europeans alike. This image not only offers a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greece. It reminds us of the immense talent that thrived within their workshops and how these artists shaped our understanding of beauty for centuries to come. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again why Phidias remains an icon among sculptors throughout history.
