EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a double bust of two renowned Ancient Greek historians, Herodotus and Thucydides. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship bring these historical figures to life. Herodotus, who lived from c. 484-425 BC, was an Athenian historian often referred to as the "Father of History". His extensive writings on ancient civilizations and their cultures laid the foundation for modern historiography. Thucydides, on the other hand, was an Athenian general and historian born around c. 460 BC. His most famous work, "History of the Peloponnesian War" provides valuable insights into one of Greece's most significant conflicts. The illustration originates from Dr Johannes Scherr's "Illustrierte Geschichte der Weltliteratur" (Illustrated History of World Literature), published by Frank sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in Stuttgart around 1895. It beautifully captures the essence of these literary giants through its detailed engravings. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of their contributions to literature but also their impact on European culture as a whole. These sculptures serve as timeless reminders that even after centuries have passed since their existence, Herodotus and Thucydides continue to inspire writers and historians alike with their profound works.
