EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print depicts Sappho, the renowned poet of ancient Greece. Created by an unknown European artist in the 15th century, this artwork showcases the timeless beauty and cultural significance of Sappho's lyrical poetry. The image is taken from Bilder-Lexicon Kulturgeschichte, published in Vienna and Leipzig in 1928. Sappho, who lived between c630-c570 BC on the island of Lesbos, was celebrated for her passionate verses about love and desire. In this illustration, she is portrayed with a lute, a musical instrument often associated with her poetic compositions. The black and white aesthetic adds to the sense of antiquity and historical depth. The woodcut captures a moment filled with emotion as two sweethearts embrace each other tenderly. It symbolizes not only romantic love but also brotherly love that transcends time and place. Sappho's songs were known for their enchanting melodies that touched hearts across generations. This print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage left behind by ancient Greece and its impact on European civilization. It represents an era when literature, music, and art flourished hand-in-hand. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece of history through Fine Art Finder platform so that it can be appreciated by modern audiences worldwide.
