EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the regal presence of Ptolemy I, Soter, King of Egypt. Created by the talented artist John Chapman in 1803, this image showcases the powerful figure who was not only a monarch but also an esteemed general. Ptolemy I rose to prominence as one of Alexander the Great's greatest generals and upon his death, he assumed control over Egypt. Dressed in traditional Greek attire with a distinguished ruff collar and an elegant hat, Ptolemy exudes authority and sophistication. His profile is captured flawlessly, highlighting his strong features that reflect both his Macedonian heritage and Egyptian influence. As the founder of the illustrious Ptolemaic dynasty which would eventually be immortalized by Cleopatra herself, Ptolemy I left an indelible mark on history. This engraving transports us back to ancient Greece and Egypt during a time when power was consolidated through military prowess and strategic alliances. John Chapman's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical figure to life once again in stunning monochrome beauty. The print serves as a testament to both Chapman's artistic skill and our enduring fascination with these legendary rulers from centuries past. Displayed prominently on any wall or within any collection, this striking portrait print pays homage to one of history's most influential leaders – Ptolemy I Soter.
