The Parasite and the Soldier
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient times, specifically the 10th century. This artwork, created by an unknown French School artist in the 19th century, beautifully captures representative characters from Ancient Theatre's Comedies of Terence. In this tinted engraving, we see two figures at the forefront: a parasite and a soldier. These characters were prominent in Greek plays and symbolize different aspects of society. The parasite represents cunning manipulation and opportunism while the soldier embodies strength, honor, and duty. The intricate details of their costumes reflect the artistry prevalent during medieval times. The playfulness of their expressions suggests they are engaged in some form of theatrical performance or interaction on stage. This print not only showcases ancient Greece's performing arts but also highlights how literature was intertwined with science during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to both cultural entertainment and intellectual pursuits that flourished during this era. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this historical piece through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon "The Parasite and the Soldier" we are reminded of our rich artistic heritage and how it continues to inspire us today.
