EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a portrait of Posidonios, a renowned Greek philosopher and Stoic. Posidonios, also known as Poseidonios or Posidonius, lived during the years 135-51 BC and left an indelible mark on ancient philosophy. The artist has beautifully captured the intellectual essence of this esteemed thinker through intricate details in this print. With his piercing gaze and thoughtful expression, Posidonios seems to be contemplating profound ideas that have shaped human understanding for centuries. Posidonios was not only a philosopher but also an astronomer, geographer, and teacher. His teachings heavily influenced Stoicism, emphasizing self-control, virtue ethics, and living in harmony with nature. This engraving serves as a testament to his significant contributions to ancient Greek thought. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the past - reminding us of the enduring impact of great thinkers throughout history. The fine lines and delicate shading showcase the talent of both the unknown artist who created it and Giancarlo Costa who preserved it for future generations. As we admire this antique piece from Greece's rich cultural heritage, let us appreciate how philosophy continues to shape our understanding of ourselves and our world even after millennia have passed since Posidonios walked among us.
