EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Banquet of Periander (Tyrant, or King of Corinth) for the seven wise men of Greece". The scene depicts a gathering of esteemed individuals from ancient Greece, symbolizing the convergence of wisdom and power. From left to right, we see Bias, Esop, Anacharis, Cleobule, Solon, Pythagoras, Periander (the host), and his wife Melisse. Each figure represents a different facet of Greek society during this era. They are surrounded by an atmosphere that exudes intellectuality and sophistication. This artwork is based on "La Ciencia y sus Hombres" by Louis Figuier and was created in Barcelona in 1881 by an unknown artist. The composition showcases the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece through its depiction of a grand feast. It provides a glimpse into the intellectual pursuits and philosophical discussions that were prevalent during this time. The presence of Pythagoras emphasizes the importance given to mathematics and scientific inquiry. This chromolithography chromo beautifully captures not only historical figures but also various aspects associated with antiquity such as fables, poetry, literature, and moral teachings found in Aesop's Fables. It serves as a reminder of the lasting impact Greek civilization has had on European culture. Displayed within private collections today, this piece continues to inspire admiration for its artistic representation of an important moment in history when great minds gathered together to exchange ideas at one remarkable banquet.
