EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century depicts Pericles, a prominent Athenian statesman and general of ancient Greece. The image showcases his authoritative presence as he stands tall, holding a rod symbolizing his leadership. Clad in an intricately designed helmet and armor, Pericles exudes strength and valor that befits a seasoned warrior. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of warfare during classical antiquity, with ships sailing on the sea behind him. As commander of the Athenian fleet, Pericles played a crucial role in protecting Athens' interests during conflicts such as the Samian War. Pericles was not only known for his military prowess but also for his political acumen. As a skilled politician and leader, he guided Athens through its golden age in the 5th century BC. His policies transformed Athens into one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. This portrait serves as an homage to Pericles' enduring legacy and influence on European history. It is part of Plutarch's Lives series published by Jacob Tonson in 1703, which aimed to depict influential figures from classical times. Through this engraving, we are transported back to ancient Greece where great minds like Pericles shaped their world with their intellect and bravery. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into our collective past—a testament to human achievement that continues to inspire us today.
