EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statue of Sophocles, the eminent ancient Greek dramatist. Dating back to the 5th century BC, this image captures the essence of one of history's most influential playwrights. The original statue can be found in the Lateran Museum in Rome and was beautifully captured for posterity by Ken Welsh. Sophocles, born around 496 BC in Athens, Greece, left an indelible mark on literature and theater with his timeless works. Renowned for his tragic plays like "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" he is considered one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens alongside Aeschylus and Euripides. Not only a prolific writer but also a politician and priest, Sophocles' contributions extended beyond drama. His plays explored complex themes such as fate versus free will, morality, and the nature of humanity itself. In this stunning illustration from El Mundo Ilustrado published in Barcelona in 1880, we are transported back to ancient Greece where Sophocles' genius flourished amidst grand amphitheaters filled with eager audiences. This image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy that continues to captivate readers and theater-goers alike. Whether you are an admirer of Greek culture or simply appreciate artistic excellence captured through time-honored photography techniques like those employed by Ken Welsh, this print is sure to evoke a sense of awe and admiration for Sophocles' profound impact on Western
