EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze print showcases the remarkable figure of Eumenes II, the visionary founder of the renowned Pergamon library. Crafted by a Roman artist in the 1st century BC, this copy beautifully captures the essence of its Hellenistic original housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, Italy. Eumenes II was not only a king but also an intellectual leader who ruled over Pergamon from 197 to 159 BC. His passion for knowledge and literature led him to establish one of antiquity's most significant libraries - The Pergamon Library. This sculpture pays homage to his legacy as it portrays him with great detail and precision. The statue depicts Eumenes II as a dignified male figure exuding authority and wisdom. Every line etched into his face tells a story of leadership and determination. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that once surrounded this influential ruler. Through this artwork, we can feel Eumenes II's unwavering commitment to education and culture. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political power struggles, there is always room for intellectual growth and enlightenment. Ken Welsh skillfully captured every nuance of this historical figure through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and its profound historical significance.
