EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Grece Greece Lanterne de Diogene a Athenes" transports us back to the ancient city of Athens in 1877. The image, captured by French photographer Felix Bonfils, showcases the iconic Lantern of Diogenes against the backdrop of this historic Greek capital. The Lantern of Diogenes is an architectural masterpiece that pays homage to the famous Greek philosopher, Diogenes. Known for his simple and ascetic lifestyle, Diogenes would often be seen carrying a lantern during daylight hours, claiming he was searching for an honest man. Bonfils' expert use of tinted albumen silver print brings out the intricate details and textures of this remarkable structure. The warm hues add depth and character to every corner of the photograph, transporting viewers into another era. Located in Alais, France today but originating from Greece itself, this stunning piece serves as a testament to both Bonfils' artistic talent and his dedication to capturing historical landmarks with precision. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but feel drawn into its timeless beauty. It reminds us not only of Athens' rich history but also encourages contemplation on philosophical concepts such as truth and simplicity - themes closely associated with Diogenes himself.
