1830 Athenian Athens Buildings Displayed Erected Greek Public Royal Statesman Woodcut York Patronage Robbins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pericles, the influential Athenian statesman from 490-429 BC, alongside some of the magnificent public buildings erected in Athens under his patronage. The woodcut image is taken from Reverend Royal Robbins' book "The World Displayed" published in New York in 1830. Pericles was a key figure during Ancient Greece's Golden Age and played a crucial role in transforming Athens into a cultural and intellectual hub. His leadership saw the construction of numerous iconic structures that still stand as testaments to his vision today. In this image, we see Pericles depicted with an air of authority and wisdom, symbolizing his significant impact on Athenian society. Surrounding him are some of the awe-inspiring public buildings he commissioned, each representing architectural brilliance and artistic mastery. These grand edifices include temples dedicated to various gods, theaters where timeless plays were performed, and other monumental structures that embodied Athens' power and prosperity. They served not only as functional spaces but also as symbols of civic pride and cultural achievement. Through this remarkable woodcut print captured almost two centuries ago, we are transported back to ancient times when Pericles' patronage shaped Athens into one of history's most remarkable cities. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with classical Greek civilization and its lasting influence on our modern world.
