EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases Sophocles, one of ancient Greece's most renowned playwrights. The intricate details of this print bring to life the essence of a man whose works have stood the test of time. Sophocles, born in 497 BC and passing away in 406 BC, was a master tragedian whose plays continue to captivate audiences even today. This engraving beautifully captures his presence, with every line etched meticulously to convey his wisdom and talent. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities" by Dr Oskar Seyffert. It serves as an illustration that pays homage to Sophocles' contribution to Greek theater. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece - a world where drama unfolded on grand stages like principal theatres. Sophocles' plays were performed during a time when Rome held sway over Italy and Europe as a whole. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for us all to appreciate, reminding us of the enduring power that art holds across centuries. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations who seek knowledge about our rich cultural heritage.
