EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sophocles, one of ancient Greece's most renowned dramatists. Born around 496 BC, his legacy as a playwright continues to resonate through the ages. The image is based on a statue found in the Lateran Museum in Rome, showcasing his timeless influence on art and culture.
Sophocles' works are known for their profound exploration of human nature and morality, making him a revered figure in Greek literature. His tragedies such as "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" have stood the test of time, delving into themes of fate, hubris, and redemption.
In this portrait, Sophocles appears dignified and contemplative, embodying the wisdom that permeates his writing. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight his importance as a literary giant whose words continue to inspire generations.
As we gaze upon this image from El Mundo Ilustrado published in Barcelona in 1880, we are reminded of Sophocles' enduring impact on storytelling and drama. His contributions to theatre remain unparalleled, cementing his place among history's greatest writers.
Through this photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to ancient Greece where Sophocles' genius first took root. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of art to transcend time and connect us with our shared humanity.
