EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Greek philosopher Archytas of Taranto, a prominent figure in ancient philosophy and mathematics. Born in 435 BC, Archytas was not only a philosopher but also a Pythagorean, mathematician, and astronomer. The image is an exquisite xylography from the "Chronicles of Nuremberg" by Hartmann Schedel, dating back to 1497. It beautifully captures the essence of this intellectual giant who made significant contributions to various fields during his lifetime. Archytas' profound knowledge and wisdom are evident in his portrait. His gaze reflects deep contemplation and curiosity about the world around him. As an astronomer, he must have spent countless nights observing celestial bodies and unraveling their mysteries. This antique depiction transports us back to ancient Greece when scholars like Archytas were revered for their intellect and thirst for knowledge. The engraving's intricate details highlight his importance as a learned individual whose ideas continue to influence modern thought. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography brings out every nuance of this historical artwork while preserving its authenticity. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our rich intellectual heritage and pays homage to one of history's greatest minds.
