EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alma-Tadema's etching of Sappho, a renowned Greek poet from ancient times. The image portrays a scene filled with artistic and musical elements, capturing the essence of classical entertainment in Victorian England. In the foreground, we see Sappho herself, elegantly depicted as she listens attentively to a man playing a musical instrument. The man is believed to be Alcaeus of Mytilene, another famous poet and musician from ancient Greece. Together, they create an atmosphere that celebrates literature and music. The painting beautifully captures the intricate details of their attire and surroundings. Sappho holds a kithara or cithara - a stringed instrument similar to a lyre - symbolizing her passion for both poetry and music. This representation highlights her significant contribution to art during her time on Lesbos. Lawrence Alma-Tadema's skillful rendering transports us back in time to experience the richness of ancient Greek culture. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring influence that poets like Sappho had on European literature. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and serves as an exquisite testament to the beauty found within antiquity. It invites viewers into an enchanting world where artistry thrived alongside intellectual pursuits – reminding us all of our shared cultural heritage across Europe and beyond.
