EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving captures the essence of Aeschylus, the renowned Greek tragic poet of Eleusi. A man of aristocratic origin, Aeschylus distinguished himself in battle against the Persians at Marathon and Salamina before turning his talents to writing. Despite being credited with around 90 dramas, only a handful have survived to present day. In this portrait from 1784, part of the Gallery of Ancient Greeks and Romans collection, Aeschylus is depicted in profile with a thoughtful expression on his face. The intricate details of his features are brought to life through the artistry of the engraver, showcasing his literary prowess and theatrical genius. The black and white imagery adds a timeless quality to this depiction of one of antiquity's greatest playwrights. His contribution to literature as a dramatist and tragedian is evident in every line etched into the print. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where Aeschylus' works continue to captivate audiences centuries later. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the impact that one individual can have on shaping our cultural heritage.
