EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Roman sculpture of Menander, the renowned Greek playwright. Crafted by the skilled hands of Kephisodotos and Timarchos, sons of Praxiteles, this exquisite piece captures the essence of Menander's legacy. Menander, who lived from 342 to 291 BC, is widely regarded as one of the most prominent figures associated with Athenian New Comedy. His contributions to theatre and literature have left an indelible mark on ancient Greek culture. The sculpture, now housed in The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, Italy, portrays Menander with striking realism. Every detail - from his expressive face to his meticulously carved body - reflects the mastery and artistry of its creators. As we gaze upon this magnificent statue, we are transported back in time to ancient Athens where Menander's plays were performed for eager audiences seeking entertainment and enlightenment. This image evokes a sense of awe at both the talent behind its creation and the enduring influence that Menander had on drama. With vibrant colors adorning this marble bust, it serves as a testament not only to Menander's literary genius but also to the rich cultural heritage shared between Greece and Rome during this period. This photograph print is a true treasure for any lover of history or admirer of classical arts – capturing both beauty and intellect within its frame.
