EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic figures of ancient Greek kings, beautifully depicted by Corsi in the 19th century. The image transports us back in time to an era steeped in history and mythology. Dressed like Amamemnon from Homer's epic tales, these regal monarchs emanate power and authority. The inspiration for this artwork comes from ancient Greek vases collected by Sir William Hamilton, a renowned figure in archaeological circles. Each king is meticulously handcoloured on a copperplate engraving, bringing them to life with vibrant hues and intricate details. Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" serves as the source for this illustration, adding another layer of historical significance to its allure. This print not only captures the fashion and style of ancient Greece but also provides a glimpse into their rich mythological heritage. As we admire these figures, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations. Their stories continue to captivate our imaginations and shape our understanding of history. This print serves as a testament to their lasting influence on art, culture, and society.
