EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Bust of Pericles" a copy of a Greek original dating back to 429 BC. Crafted from marble, this Roman reproduction from the 2nd century BC stands at an impressive height of 59 cm. Currently housed in the prestigious British Museum in London, UK, this ancient artifact is now out of copyright. The bust portrays Pericles, an influential Athenian statesman who played a crucial role during the Golden Age of Athens. With his helmet resting atop his head and his majestic beard flowing down, Pericles exudes strength and wisdom. This portrait captures not only his physical features but also hints at his political prowess as a politician and orator. Pericles was known for transforming Athens into a cultural powerhouse through various architectural projects such as the Parthenon on the Acropolis. His leadership skills were instrumental in shaping Athenian democracy and establishing its dominance among other city-states. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of history captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to ancient Greece where great minds like Pericles shaped our world today. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, their legacies continue to inspire us with their achievements and contributions to society.
