Pericles and Phidias - A Meeting of Minds in the Parthenon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph from 1915, we are transported back to ancient Greece, witnessing a momentous encounter between two great minds - Pericles and Phidias. The illustration, taken from Hutchinson's History of the Nations, beautifully captures the essence of their meeting within the majestic walls of the Parthenon. Pericles, renowned statesman and orator, is seen standing in awe before Phidias' monumental statue. With his eyes fixed on Athena's divine creation, he displays an unmistakable admiration for the masterful workmanship that surrounds him. Meanwhile, Phidias himself stands by attentively as Pericles inspects every intricate detail. This image not only showcases a significant historical event but also symbolizes the harmonious collaboration between art and politics during ancient Greece's golden age. It highlights how artists like Phidias played an integral role in shaping society through their craftsmanship. The lithograph offers us a glimpse into an era where apprenticeship was highly valued. As young architects observe this extraordinary exchange between Pericles and Phidias with eager eyes, one can't help but imagine them yearning to learn from these masters themselves. Through this print by Robert Ambrose Dudley, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to inspire generations across time. It serves as a testament to humanity's unyielding pursuit of knowledge and creativity throughout history – forever etched within our collective memory.
