The Athenian Fugitives
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating gravure print that transports us back to the 19th century and the International Exhibition of 1878 in Paris. This exquisite artwork, originally painted by Pierre-Paul-Leon Glaize, has been beautifully reproduced through the meticulous engraving work of Goupil & Co. The scene depicted in this print showcases a group of fugitives from ancient Athens desperately escaping their pursuers. Men and women can be seen abseiling down rocky cliffs with incredible agility, while children cling onto their parents for dear life. The tension and urgency are palpable as each figure navigates their way to freedom. This image was featured in "The Chefs-D Oeuvre d Art" a renowned publication edited by Edward Straham to commemorate the International Exhibition. It serves as a testament to the artistic excellence showcased during this grand event. Through digital cleaning techniques, this print has been restored to its original glory, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. From the expressions on each character's face to the delicate lines etched into their clothing, it is evident that no element has been overlooked. "The Athenian Fugitives" not only captures an intense moment of escape but also highlights themes of resilience and determination. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, human spirit prevails.
