EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Mount Pentelicus, from the Height above Marathon, near the Haunt of the Greek Brigands" transports us to 19th century Greece. The image showcases the majestic beauty of Mount Pentelicus, also known as Penteliko Mountain, rising proudly in the distance. Its rugged peaks and lush greenery create a breathtaking backdrop against a clear blue sky. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this picturesque landscape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its tranquility. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the crisp mountain air and hear whispers of ancient tales carried by gentle breezes. However, there is an intriguing twist to this idyllic scene - it is said to be located near the haunt of Greek brigands. This adds an element of mystery and danger that contrasts with nature's serene beauty. It sparks our imagination as we wonder about these elusive figures lurking within these very hills. Originally published in The Illustrated London News in May 1870, this engraving serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact. It offers us a glimpse into a time when travel was more arduous but rewarded explorers with hidden treasures like Mount Pentelicus. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us through time and space – reminding us that even seemingly ordinary landscapes have stories waiting to be discovered.
