EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The boy Cyrus playing the King" we are transported back to ancient times as a young child immerses himself in make-believe. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a moment of imagination and playfulness. The central figure is none other than Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire under the Achaemenid Dynasty. With his finger pointed assertively, he assumes the role of ruler with confidence beyond his years. Dressed in regal attire, adorned with intricate details, and surrounded by symbols of power, he embodies both innocence and authority. This image reminds us of the universal nature of childhood games and how children throughout history have engaged in imaginative play. The engraving beautifully portrays Cyrus II's youthful spirit as he embraces his role as king. His expression exudes determination and ambition while also revealing a sense of joy derived from exploring different personas. "The boy Cyrus playing the King" is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' fine art collection. This enchanting artwork serves as a testament to human creativity across generations and invites viewers to reflect on their own childhood memories filled with dreams and aspirations.
