EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Antisthenes, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The image, created by an unknown artist in 1830, showcases Antisthenes' profile as he gazes off into the distance. Antisthenes was a pupil of Socrates and believed in living an ascetic life guided by virtue. He advocated for simplicity and self-discipline, rejecting material possessions and worldly desires. This portrait reflects his commitment to this philosophy through his modest clothing - a robe that drapes over him with humility. The engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin during the 19th century. It provides us with a glimpse into ancient Greece's intellectual landscape while highlighting Antisthenes' significant contributions to ethics and rhetoric. As we observe this historic figure captured on paper centuries ago, we are reminded of the enduring power of philosophical thought throughout time. The image invites us to contemplate not only Antisthenes' teachings but also our own values and choices in today's world. This photograph print serves as a visual testament to one man's pursuit of wisdom and virtue amidst the complexities of human existence – an eternal quest that continues to resonate with individuals across cultures even today.
