EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Greece. Depicted in this image is Aesop, the legendary Greek fabulist, believed to have lived between 620-560 BC according to Herodotus. However, it is worth noting that Aesop's existence may be purely mythical. The frontispiece of William Caxton's edition of Fables of Aesop adorns this portrait, which dates back to the 15th century. This artwork showcases not only the artistic talent prevalent during that era but also highlights the enduring popularity and significance of Aesop's fables. Aesop himself can be seen walking with purpose, his presence exuding wisdom and storytelling prowess. As a male figure from ancient Greece, he represents an important cultural icon whose tales continue to resonate across generations. This monochrome print invites us to delve into the realm of morality and concept through animal characters depicted in Aesop's fables. It serves as a reminder that literature has always played a vital role in shaping society by imparting valuable life lessons. Ann Ronan Pictures has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to appreciate today. Through their meticulous preservation efforts, we are able to witness firsthand how artistry intertwines with storytelling in ancient times. Let this portrait transport you back centuries ago as you explore the legacy left behind by one of Greece's most renowned figures - Aesop - through his timeless tales passed down from generation to generation
