1817 Balding Elderly Historian Matthias Scholar Theodor Lenbach Mommsen
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the intellectual brilliance and distinguished character of Christian Matthias Theodor Mommsen (1817-1903), a renowned German classical scholar and historian. Mommsen is depicted in this photograph, taken by the esteemed German painter, Franz von Lenbach, during his later years. The scholar's long, white hair frames his balding head, adding to the sense of wisdom and age. Mommsen's piercing gaze and furrowed brow convey a deep concentration and dedication to his work. Born in Hamburg, Mommsen's passion for history was ignited at a young age. He studied at the University of Bonn and went on to make significant contributions to the fields of Roman history and epigraphy. Mommsen's groundbreaking work, "The History of Rome," is considered a seminal work in the study of ancient Rome. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902 for his historical writings. Lenbach's masterful painting captures the essence of Mommsen's intellectual prowess and his enduring impact on the field of classical studies. The portrait is a testament to the power of scholarly inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or classical studies.
