EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Strabo, created by the French School in the 16th century. Taken from Andre Thevet's renowned work "Des vrais pourtaits et vies des hommes illustres" (True portraits and lives of illustrious men), this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Strabo, a Greek historian, geographer, and philosopher. In this half-length portrait, Strabo is depicted with a distinguished Grecian appearance. His bearded countenance exudes wisdom and intellectual prowess. Holding a globe in his hand and surrounded by maps, he symbolizes his profound contributions to the field of geography. Strabo's influence on ancient Greece cannot be overstated. Through his extensive writings and meticulous research, he provided invaluable insights into various regions' topography, culture, and history. His comprehensive approach to studying geography laid the foundation for future scholars in understanding our world. The intricate details within this artwork transport us back to a time when knowledge was sought after with great fervor. It serves as a testament to both Strabo's legacy and Andre Thevet's dedication to preserving historical figures through visual representation. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the enduring power of art in capturing moments that transcend time itself.
