EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "Ancient and Modern" takes us on a journey through time, capturing the essence of both ancient Greek culture and modern fashion. The sketch, found in the Greek Gallery at the British Museum, is a testament to the enduring influence of classical art. In this intriguing image, we see a group of women adorned in elegant hats and stylish clothing, standing amidst the grandeur of ancient sculptures. Their fashionable attire creates an interesting juxtaposition against the timeless beauty of their surroundings. The artist behind this masterpiece is Charles Paul Renouard (1845-1924), whose skilled hand brings life to every detail. Through his meticulous engraving technique, he captures not only the physical features but also the spirit of these women as they immerse themselves in history. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic magazine on 24th December 1898. It serves as a visual reminder that fashion trends may change over time, but our fascination with ancient cultures remains constant. Now preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to marvel at how past and present intertwine within one frame. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that even though centuries have passed since these sculptures were created, their allure continues to inspire artists and captivate audiences worldwide.
