EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Sophocles on a herm, known as Solon" a masterpiece from the 1st or 2nd century AD. Created by an unknown Roman artist, this sculpture is carved out of pentelic marble and can be found in the prestigious Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The portrait depicts Sophocles, a renowned playwright and tragedian from ancient Greece who lived between 497-406 BC. His face is beautifully captured with intricate details that highlight his wisdom and literary prowess. The sculptor skillfully portrays the essence of Sophocles' contribution to theater and literature during the golden age of Athens. The head rests upon a herm, which was a common form for portraits during this period.

This photograph perfectly captures the timeless beauty and significance of this ancient artwork. The play of light on the marble surface brings out its delicate features while adding depth to its historical context. Stefano Baldini's expert photography allows viewers to appreciate every intricacy in this remarkable piece.
