EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze sculpture of what is believed to be the head of Pythagoras of Samos, one of the most influential philosophers in ancient Greece. Created between 460-440 BC, this artwork is housed at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Reggio Calabria, Italy. The portrait depicts an elderly man with a long, flowing beard and a distinguished moustache. The intricate carving captures every detail of his weathered face, conveying wisdom and depth. The artist skillfully brings out the essence of old age through delicate lines and contours. Known as "the philosopher of Porticello" this sculpture was discovered in Porticello, Italy. Standing at 42 cm tall, it exudes an aura of intellectual prowess and contemplation. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal but also in its connection to Pythagoras himself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from antiquity, we are transported back to a time when philosophy flourished and great minds like Pythagoras shaped our understanding of the world. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, their ideas continue to inspire us today. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance and texture captured within this timeless work. Through her lens, we can explore the beauty and artistry that resides within ancient Greek culture while honoring the legacy left behind by great thinkers like Pythagoras.
