EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed philosopher Epicurus, who was a prominent figure in ancient Greek philosophy. Known as the founder of the Epicurean school of thought, his teachings emphasized the pursuit of happiness and pleasure as essential aspects of a fulfilling life. The portrait bust depicted here is a Roman copy of an original Greek sculpture from either the 3rd or 2nd century BC, highlighting its historical significance. Carved out of marble with meticulous detail, it beautifully captures Epicurus' distinguished features - his bearded face exuding wisdom and contemplation. Epicurus' influence on philosophy resonates even today, making this artifact all the more intriguing. The print's vibrant colors bring life to this ancient relic, transporting us back to a time when intellectual pursuits were highly valued in Greece. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Epicurus' contributions but also of the enduring power that art possesses to connect us with our past. It serves as a reminder that knowledge and ideas can transcend time and continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world. This print by Epicurus himself (creator unknown) is truly an invaluable treasure for enthusiasts interested in delving into ancient Greek philosophy or simply appreciating the rich cultural heritage that has shaped human civilization throughout history.
