EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Site of the Isthmian Games" takes us back to ancient Greece in the 19th century. The illustration, created by an unknown European artist, showcases a scene from the famous Isthmian Games held in a sacred enclosure. The image transports us to a time when athletes gathered from all over Greece to compete in these prestigious games. We can almost hear the cheers of spectators as they watch players engage in various ball games within this grand stadium. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every aspect of this historical event. The engraver skillfully depicts not only the excitement and energy of the games but also incorporates elements that represent Greek culture and identity. From symbols like the Greek flag fluttering proudly above Latium (Italy) to references of Roman influence, this artwork beautifully encapsulates ancient history. It's fascinating how this print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art. Originally featured in Dr Oskar Seyffert's A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities, it allows viewers to delve into antiquity while appreciating its aesthetic value. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this exquisite piece for future generations to enjoy. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of our connection with past civilizations and their enduring legacy.
