EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Statue of Philopoemen" by David d'Angers, located in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Crafted from marble, this sculpture depicts Philopoemen, a prominent Greek politician and strategist who valiantly fought against the Roman threat during ancient times. Philopoemen's resolute gaze and powerful stance exude strength and determination. The intricate details of his helmet and muscular body are masterfully carved, highlighting the artist's exceptional skill in capturing human form. This artwork serves as a testament to both Philopoemen's heroic legacy and the artistic brilliance of David d'Angers. The statue also symbolizes an era when Greece faced immense challenges under Roman rule. As the organizer of the League of Hellenic Cities, Philopoemen dedicated himself to defending Greek independence until he was ultimately captured by Romans and condemned to drink hemlock. Plutarch famously referred to him as "the last of the Greeks" emphasizing his unwavering commitment to his homeland. Through this photograph taken by Kim Young Tae, we can appreciate not only the historical significance but also the timeless beauty that emanates from this remarkable piece of art. It serves as a reminder of Greece's rich cultural heritage and its enduring impact on Western civilization.
