EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pericles, the renowned Athenian statesman from ancient Greece. Captured in 1830 by Royal Robbins, this image offers a glimpse into the life of a man who left an indelible mark on history. Pericles is widely recognized for his patronage of public buildings in Athens during his time as a leader. Among these magnificent structures were the Parthenon, Erechtheum, Odeum, and Propylaea - all testaments to his architectural vision and dedication to enhancing the city's grandeur. In this woodcut depiction, Pericles stands tall with an air of authority and wisdom. His presence exudes strength and determination as he gazes towards the future he helped shape. As an architect himself, it is evident that Pericles took great pride in his profession and played a pivotal role in shaping religious spaces that would inspire generations to come. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this nineteenth-century portrayal of an extraordinary figure from fifth-century BC Greece. The attention to detail captured by Unknown (creator) allows us to appreciate not only Pericles' physical appearance but also gain insight into his occupation as both builder and statesman. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of Pericles' enduring legacy - one that continues to fascinate scholars, historians, and admirers alike.
