"Artaxerxes: A Journey Through Time and Culture" Step into the world of Artaxerxes, a name that echoes through history and encompasses various realms of art, literature, and archaeology. From ancient manuscripts to theatrical performances, this captivating figure has left an indelible mark on our collective imagination. In the realm of religion and scripture, we find ourselves immersed in a French Bible from the 13th century. The delicate manuscript leaf reveals the opening of The Book of Nehemias, where Artaxerxes plays a pivotal role in the biblical narrative set in Jerusalem. Venturing further back in time, we encounter an intriguing slab with relief depicting a male winged sphinx dating back to 358-338 BC. This artifact hails from Susa in Iran, shedding light on Artaxerxes' reign as one of Persia's most prominent rulers. The allure doesn't stop there – enter the world of theater where characters like Arbaces come alive. Miss Maria Prudom gracefully embodies this persona from Thomas Arne's opera "Artaxerxes, " transporting us to another era filled with grandeur and drama. Meanwhile, historical engravings capture significant moments such as Nehemiah petitioning Artaxerxes or his silent presence before kings. These illustrations bring forth tales from Greece's rich past while showcasing Artaxerxes' influence on political dynamics. Fast forward to more recent times when Mr. Thomas Sheridan takes center stage as Oedipus donning elaborate costumes that transport audiences into mythical realms intertwined with reality. Speaking of costumes, Mrs. Margaret Farrel and Mr. Charles Frederick Reinhold enchant us by embodying Persian royalty as they portray Artaxerxes and Artabanes in yet another rendition of Thomas Arne's opera masterpiece. Music also pays tribute to this iconic figure through compositions like "A Bravura Air" titled Mandane – its hand-colored etching capturing the essence of Artaxerxes' grandeur and power.
