EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Grave Stele of Phanokrates, an exquisite piece of ancient art that transports us back to around 200 B. C. Crafted from marble, this monumental object stands tall at a height of 125.4 cm and measures 53.3 cm in width and 21.6 cm in depth. The stele depicts the figure of Phanokrates, whose identity remains unknown but whose memory is forever preserved through this remarkable artwork. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as every delicate feature is meticulously carved into the smooth surface of the marble. Phanokrates appears standing with his left leg slightly forward, exuding an air of strength and dignity. His attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, with intricate folds cascading down his robe. In one hand he holds a staff or scepter while resting his other hand on what seems to be a small altar or pedestal. The composition evokes a sense of solemnity and reverence typically associated with grave markers during ancient times. It serves as a poignant reminder that even after death, individuals like Phanokrates were honored by their loved ones who commissioned such elaborate memorials for them. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported across centuries to witness not only the artistic prowess but also the deep-rooted cultural practices surrounding death and remembrance in ancient civilizations.
