EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching on laid paper created by the renowned German artist, Georg Andreas Wolfgang, in the year 1665. This masterpiece takes us back to ancient Greece during the Iron Age, a period marked by the use of iron tools and weapons. The image is a monochromatic, evocative depiction of a pivotal moment in Greek mythology and history. The circular composition is dominated by a gruesome scene of battle, with soldiers clashing swords and spears, their faces etched with determination and resolve. In the center, a warrior, larger than life, stands victorious over his defeated foes. His muscular form and determined gaze convey the power and strength of the Iron Age warrior. The figures are intricately drawn, each with individual expressions and details. The artist's use of contrasting shades of grey and white adds depth and texture to the image, making it appear three-dimensional. The lettering at the bottom of the print reads "The Iron Age," completing the title of the work. This etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and the enduring influence of its mythology and history. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or mythology, and is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful print in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. Georg Andreas Wolfgang, also known as Georg Andreas II Wolfgang, was a prolific artist of the seventeenth century, known for his intricate etchings and illustrations. This print, "The Iron Age," is a prime example of his skill and artistry, and is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
