EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1915, titled "Pericles visits Phidias in the Parthenon" transports us back to ancient Greece, a time of great artistic and intellectual achievement. The illustration depicts an iconic moment as Pericles, the renowned statesman and orator, pays a visit to Phidias, one of the greatest classical sculptors of all time. In this scene, we witness Pericles' deep admiration for Phidias' monumental statue construction inside the majestic Parthenon. As they stand before the awe-inspiring goddess Athena sculpture, it is evident that both men share a profound appreciation for art and its ability to capture the essence of their civilization. The image beautifully captures not only their interaction but also highlights the significance of apprenticeship in ancient Greek society. It showcases how artists like Phidias would pass down their knowledge and skills to aspiring architects and sculptors through rigorous training programs. Through this lithograph by Robert Ambrose Dudley, we are transported into antiquity—where art flourished alongside political prowess—and reminded of the timeless beauty that still resonates with us today. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and our enduring fascination with ancient Greece's rich cultural heritage.
