EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, Ms. New Coll 242, f. 178r, Commentary on Aristotle's Politics by Walter Burley. Created in the 14th century by an English School artist, this pen and ink masterpiece on vellum transports us back to ancient Greece. Despite its age, this manuscript has managed to retain its allure and significance over the centuries. The intricate calligraphy draws our attention as we explore the detailed page filled with classical Greek text. The torn edges and damaged sections only add to its charm, reminding us of the passage of time and the resilience of knowledge. The figure depicted in this artwork is none other than Aristotle himself – one of the greatest philosophers in history whose ideas continue to shape political thought today. With his legs crossed and deep in contemplation, he symbolizes wisdom and intellectual pursuit. Surrounding Aristotle's image is a beautifully crafted gothic border that enhances the medieval aesthetic of this piece. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and devotion to preserving knowledge during that era. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' collaboration with Fine Art Finder, we can now appreciate every minute detail captured within this photograph print without any commercial use intentions involved. Let your imagination wander through time as you admire this extraordinary glimpse into ancient Greece's political discourse through Walter Burley's insightful commentary on Aristotle's Politics.
