EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Menander, the renowned Greek dramatist of Athenian New Comedy. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this engraving is part of the book "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Menander, who lived from c342-290 BC, was a prominent figure in ancient Greek literature and theater. The image captures the essence of Menander's profession as a playwright, with his focused gaze looking away into the distance. His thoughtful expression reflects his dedication to his craft and highlights the depth of his work. The intricate details in this portrait bring forth a sense of history and antiquity. Displayed against a plain background, this print transports us back to ancient Athens during the fourth century BC. It serves as both a visual representation and historical documentation of one of Greece's most celebrated literary figures. With its timeless appeal, this print allows us to appreciate not only Menander's contribution to performing arts but also provides insight into ancient Greek culture. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded that even after centuries have passed since its creation, Menander's legacy continues to inspire generations with his remarkable talent for comedy and drama.
