EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable oval bust-portrait of Archimedes, the renowned Sicilian mathematician. Preserved with utmost care in the prestigious Capitoline Museum in Rome, this artwork is a testament to the rich ancient civilization of Greece. Captured around 1890, this photograph perfectly captures the intricate details of Archimedes' portrait. The philosopher's face is adorned with a diadem, adding an air of regality to his countenance. His fashion and clothing reflect the style prevalent during that era, while his hairdo and hairstyle exude sophistication. The photographer skillfully focuses on Archimedes' eyes, which seem to hold centuries worth of wisdom within them. Every part of his body - from his nude form to his ears - is meticulously captured, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of human anatomy. Archimedes' visage stands as a tribute to famous individuals who have left an indelible mark on history through their contributions. This portrait serves as a reminder not only of Archimedes' mathematical genius but also highlights the importance placed on intellectual pursuits during ancient times. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of Greek art from Europe's past civilizations, we are transported back in time.
