EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Solon of Athens, a renowned figure in ancient Greece. Standing proudly on the left side of the image, Solon is depicted in military attire, exuding strength and authority. A large block rests on his right shoulder, symbolizing his burden as a leader and lawmaker. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the glove at his feet to the spear he holds firmly in his hand. These elements further emphasize Solon's role as a warrior and defender of justice. Beneath this striking portrayal lies a seven-line Latin poem, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the artwork. It invites viewers to delve deeper into Solon's wisdom and contributions to Greek society. Part of a larger series featuring portraits of Greek sages, this particular print pays homage to not only Solon but also other influential figures such as Bias, Chilon, Cleobulus, Periander (alternatively Myson), Pittacus, Thales – all known for their intellect and sagacity. Created by Jacob de Gheyn III in 1616 using etching techniques on paper, this print exemplifies both artistic skill and historical significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the timeless wisdom imparted by these legendary individuals who shaped ancient Greece's intellectual landscape.
