EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable figure of Pericles, a Greek statesman, orator, and general of Athens. Taken from the book "Harmsworth History of the World" published in 1908, this illustration provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of ancient Greece's most influential leaders. Pericles, born around 495 BC, played an instrumental role in shaping Athens' golden age. Known for his exceptional oratory skills and strategic military leadership, he was revered as a visionary statesman who championed democracy and promoted cultural advancements. In this portrait captured by Ken Welsh, Pericles exudes an air of wisdom and authority. His piercing gaze reflects his deep intellect while his confident stance embodies his unwavering determination to protect and elevate Athens. As a general, Pericles led Athenian forces during significant conflicts such as the Persian Wars. Under his command, Athens experienced unprecedented military success that solidified its position as a dominant power in ancient Greece. Beyond warfare prowess, Pericles also prioritized civic development. He spearheaded ambitious construction projects including the iconic Parthenon on Acropolis Hill—a testament to Athenian architectural brilliance that still stands today. This print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of Pericles' enduring influence on Western civilization. It encapsulates not only his political achievements but also highlights his profound impact on art, philosophy, literature—the very essence of what we now consider classical Greek culture.
