EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Leonard Gaultier transports us back to ancient Greece, capturing the essence of Themistocles, a prominent Athenian politician and general. Created in 1615 as part of Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs by Blaise de Vigenare, this print showcases Gaultier's exceptional talent in bringing historical figures to life. Themistocles, who lived from approximately 524-459 BC, was renowned for his strategic brilliance and political acumen. In this image, we see him depicted with an air of authority and wisdom that befits his reputation. The fine details etched into the engraving highlight the artist's meticulous craftsmanship. Gaultier masterfully captures Themistocles' commanding presence through his confident posture and intense gaze. Every line on Themistocles' face tells a story - one filled with triumphs on the battlefield and shrewd negotiations within the political arena. As we admire this work of art, we are reminded of the enduring power of politics throughout history. It serves as a testament to how individuals like Themistocles can shape nations through their leadership and decision-making skills. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this remarkable piece has been made available for all to appreciate.
