The Pomp of Pausanias - A Glimpse into Ancient Greek Grandeur
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The pomp of Pausanias" takes us back in time to the ancient world of Greece. Illustrated by Allan Stewart in 1915 for Hutchinson's History of the Nations, this print offers a window into the opulent ceremonies and processions that once graced the streets of Athens. In this scene, we witness an Athenian soldier named Pausanias embarking on a grand journey. Seated comfortably in a luxurious sedan chair carried by fellow soldiers, he exudes an air of authority and importance. As a renowned geographer and author of the famous Description of Greece during the 2nd century, Pausanias was no ordinary traveler; his presence demanded attention. The procession unfolds with great fanfare as soldiers march alongside him while citizens gather to catch a glimpse of their esteemed compatriot. The atmosphere is filled with pomp and splendor, reflecting both ancient Greek customs and societal norms. Through intricate engraving techniques, every detail comes alive – from the elegant attire worn by participants to the architectural marvels lining the city streets. This lithograph transports us to a time when ceremony held immense significance in society. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded not only of Greece's rich history but also its enduring influence on art and culture worldwide.
