EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Greek philosopher Antisthene, a prominent figure in ancient philosophy. Created through xylography by Hartmann Schedel in 1497 for the "Chronicles of Nuremberg" this antique piece is a testament to the enduring legacy of intellectual pursuits. Antisthene, who lived from 444-365 BC, is depicted here with great detail and precision. The engraving beautifully captures his profile, emphasizing his thoughtful expression and deep contemplation. As one of the founding members of Cynicism, Antisthene's philosophical teachings centered around self-sufficiency and living a virtuous life. The intricate lines and textures created by Schedel's xylography technique add depth and richness to this portrait. It transports us back to ancient Greece, allowing us to connect with the intellectual giants who shaped our understanding of human existence. This print serves as a window into antiquity, reminding us of the profound impact that philosophers like Antisthene had on society. It is an invaluable piece that not only celebrates historical figures but also highlights their relevance even today. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this remarkable artwork through photography while preserving its essence and beauty. This image serves as a visual tribute to both artistic craftsmanship and intellectual curiosity—a timeless reminder of humanity's quest for knowledge throughout history.
