EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the solemn and revered final resting place of one of China's most influential figures, Confucius. The photograph captures the essence of ancient Chinese history, literature, and philosophy as it depicts the grave site of this renowned philosopher and statesman. The image transports us back to a bygone era in 19th century China, where German School artists sought to immortalize the significance of Confucius' tomb. This private collection piece is an illustration from Dr Johannes Scherr's "Illustrierte Geschichte der Weltliteratur" published in Stuttgart around 1895. Confucius was not only a philosopher but also a politician who lived during the 5th century BC. His teachings formed the foundation for Confucianism, an ethical system that greatly influenced Chinese society for centuries to come. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of his lasting impact on Asian culture and beyond. The composition evokes a sense of reverence and respect for this legendary figure. It serves as a visual testament to Confucius' enduring legacy as both a writer and thinker whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of ethics and morality. Through this lithograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into an ancient world filled with wisdom, contemplation, and cultural richness – reminding us that even in death, great minds can leave behind profound legacies that transcend time itself.
