EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the likeness of Antisthenes, a renowned Greek philosopher and pupil of Socrates. Born around 445 BC and passing away circa 365 BC, Antisthenes played a significant role in shaping ancient Greek philosophy. The image is based on a bust found in the Vatican museum, believed to be a Roman copy from the 2nd century AD. It is thought to have been originally created by Athenian sculptor Phyromanchus during the 3rd century BC. The portrait depicts an elderly man with a distinguished beard, exuding wisdom and experience. Antisthenes' contribution as the founder of the school of cynics is evident through his intense gaze captured in this artwork. The vertical composition focuses solely on his head and shoulders, emphasizing his intellectual presence. Ken Welsh's illustration transports us back to ancient Greece, offering us a glimpse into history through this archival piece. The fine art quality of this image adds depth and timelessness to its representation. This print serves as both an educational tool for those interested in philosophy or ancient civilizations and as an aesthetic addition to any collection of historic or vintage artwork. Its portrayal captures not only Antisthenes' physical appearance but also reflects his profound influence on Western thought.
