EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Thales of Miletus" captures the essence of wisdom and intellect. The image showcases a group of seven esteemed Greek sages, known as the Seven Wise Men, who played pivotal roles in shaping ancient Greece's philosophical landscape. In this scene, an old man dressed in a flowing robe sits by a window overlooking the shore. Behind him stand several ships and vessels, symbolizing their connection to maritime trade and exploration. The silhouette effect adds an air of mystery to the composition while emphasizing the timeless nature of their wisdom. The old man holds a book in one hand and points towards it with his other hand using measuring instruments. This gesture suggests that he is imparting knowledge or engaging in deep contemplation. A Latin poem accompanies this visual narrative, further enhancing its intellectual appeal. Created by renowned artist Jacob de Gheyn III in 1616, this print serves as a frontispiece for Decimus Magnus Ausonius' work on Thales of Miletus. Nicolaes de Clerck's meticulous attention to detail brings each portrait to life with remarkable precision. Quint Lox has masterfully captured this historical masterpiece from the Liszt Collection without compromising its integrity or commercial use restrictions. As you gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, allow yourself to be transported back in time to witness these great minds at work - forever etched into history as pillars of knowledge and enlightenment.
