EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Greek art, the "Bust of Epicuro". Crafted during the Hellenistic period, this marble sculpture dates back to 331-270 BC and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The attention to detail is evident as we focus on the double bust, with Epicuro's disciple Metrodore depicted at the back. Epicuro himself was a renowned Greek philosopher whose teachings centered around finding happiness and tranquility through pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain. This intricately carved portrait captures his intellectual essence and serves as a testament to his enduring influence on philosophy. The skillful craftsmanship evident in this sculpture highlights the mastery of ancient Greek artists who excelled in capturing human form with precision and grace. Every curve and contour of Epicuro's face reflects wisdom and contemplation, while Metrodore's presence adds depth to their relationship as teacher and student. As we admire this work of art from centuries ago, it reminds us that knowledge transcends time. It invites us to delve into philosophical ideas that have shaped our understanding of life today. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind such an extraordinary artifact from ancient Greece.
