EDITORS COMMENTS
Pericles, the illustrious Athenian statesman and orator, is immortalized in this stunning bust sculpture, created circa 495-429 BC. Known as one of the most influential figures in Ancient Athens, Pericles played a pivotal role in shaping the city-state's political, cultural, and architectural landscape. Born into an aristocratic family, Pericles rose to prominence during the height of Athenian power and prosperity, during the Golden Age of Athens. He is best remembered for his leadership during the Peloponnesian War against Sparta, which saw the city undergo a remarkable transformation, with the construction of grand temples, public buildings, and monuments, including the Parthenon. Pericles' political acumen was matched by his eloquence as a speaker. He is credited with the famous Funeral Oration, delivered in honor of the Athenian soldiers who fell during the first year of the war. The speech, which extolled the virtues of Athenian democracy and the sacrifices made by its citizens, became a symbol of Athenian pride and identity. Despite his many accomplishments, Pericles faced significant challenges during his tenure as Athens' leader. He was criticized for his extravagant building projects, which put a strain on the city's resources and contributed to its eventual downfall. Nevertheless, his legacy endures, and he remains a revered figure in Greek history. This exquisite bust, attributed to the sculptor Bori, captures the noble and thoughtful countenance of Pericles, reflecting the wisdom and vision of a great leader. The intricate details of the marble carving, from the furrowed brow to the flowing beard, bring the historical figure to life, allowing us to appreciate the depth and complexity of this remarkable man.
