EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Portraits of Great Philosophers: Epicurus" transports us back to the intellectual world of ancient Greece. Created by Gordon Ross in 1946, this artwork is a visual representation of one of history's most influential thinkers. Epicurus, depicted with meticulous detail and skillful shading, gazes thoughtfully into the distance. His wise eyes seem to hold centuries' worth of knowledge and contemplation. The artist has captured his essence as a philosopher who sought tranquility and happiness through simple pleasures. The lithograph is part of a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity and rarity to this historical gem. It was originally commissioned for Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas' book "Living Biographies of Great Philosophers" published by Blue Ribbon that same year. Through this print, we are invited to delve into the mind of Epicurus himself – a man whose ideas on pleasure, friendship, and living virtuously continue to resonate today. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that philosophy transcends time; it connects us with our past while shaping our present understanding. Whether you're an avid art enthusiast or simply curious about great thinkers throughout history, this lithograph serves as both an aesthetic delight and a gateway into the profound wisdom offered by Epicurus.
