EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases a magnificent marble statue of Sophocles, the renowned Ancient Greek playwright. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of this literary genius who left an indelible mark on history. Sophocles, born around 497 BC and passing away in 405 BC, was a prominent Athenian dramatist during Greece's golden age. Known for his tragic plays that explored complex human emotions and moral dilemmas, he became one of the most celebrated playwrights of all time. This lithograph beautifully portrays his dignified presence and intellectual prowess. The sculpture itself is a testament to ancient craftsmanship, with intricate details meticulously carved into the marble. It serves as a reminder of Greece's rich cultural heritage and its significant contributions to literature. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of classical European artistry, this image transports us back to ancient Athens where Sophocles' works were performed before captivated audiences. The engraving from Dr Johannes Scherr's "Illustrierte Geschichte der Wellitteratur" further adds historical context to this stunning portrayal. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Sophocles' enduring legacy but also of the power that literature holds in shaping our understanding of humanity across centuries.
