Greece - Ancient Culture of Greece
Classical Period (500-336 BC) - Classical period of ancient Greek history, is fixed between about 500 B. C., when the Greeks began to come into conflict with the kingdom of Persia to the east, and the death of the Macedonian king and conqueror Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. In this period Athens reached its greatest political and cultural heights: the full development of the democratic system of government under the Athenian statesman Pericles; the building of the Parthenon on the Acropolis; the creation of the tragedies of Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides; and the founding of the philosophical schools of Socrates and Plato.
This over 140 years old original antique handcolored wood engraving is taken from the rare first edition of
Heinrich Leutemann's famous work „Bilder aus dem Altertume“, published in the "Münchener Bilderbogen"
by Braun & Schneider, Munich/Germany, 1880.
He worked for magazines like the "Gartenlaube", "Illustrierte Zeitung", "Über Land und Meer"
and the "Münchener Bilderbogen". For the latter he created two series known as
"Bilder aus dem Altertume" (Pictures of the Ancient World) and "Die Welt in Bildern" (The World in Pictures).
The "Münchener Bilderbogen" (Munich picture sheets) were a series of broadsides issued by publishers Braun & Schneider in Munich from 1848 to 1898 every 14 days. This series contains exciting pictures about Antiquity and the Ancient World of Egypt, the Roman Empire, Assyria & Greece. Finally the "Bilderbogen" comprises a total of over 1200 pictures published in the course of 50 years. Many other famous artists of the day like Albert Adamo, Wilhelm Busch, Wilhelm von Diez, Franz Kreuzer, Lothar Meggendorfer, Andreas Müller, Adolf Oberländer, Franz Graf Pocci, and Moritz von Schwind contributed their prowess to the sucess of the whole project.
