EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Cimon, an influential Athenian statesman and general from ancient Greece. Created by the talented artist Michael Burghers in the 17th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. Cimon, who lived between 510-450 BC, was renowned for his strategic brilliance and leadership on the battlefield. This illustration was originally featured in Plutarch's Lives, a famous biographical work published in 1703 by Jacob Tonson. In this engraving, we see Cimon holding a rod symbolizing his authority as he stands amidst soldiers and ships. The scene depicts the intensity of warfare during that era and offers us a glimpse into ancient Greek military tactics. As an Athenian politician and commander of their navy fleet, Cimon played a crucial role in shaping Athens' destiny during the 5th century BC. His contributions to classical antiquity were significant both on land and at sea. This print not only captures the essence of Cimon's life but also provides us with valuable insights into ancient Greek civilization. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich historical heritage while highlighting the bravery and determination exhibited by leaders like Cimon on the battlefields of yesteryears.
