EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving titled "Iron Age" by John Flaxman, a renowned artist from the 18th to 19th centuries. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts an evocative scene inspired by Hesiod's classical literature. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to the desolate era known as the Iron Age. Flaxman's masterful technique brings forth a sense of melancholy and despair that permeates every inch of the engraving. The mutual cities depicted here appear worn and ravaged, their once vibrant streets now empty and lifeless. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be reminded of Hesiod's words on this period in human history - a time characterized by moral decay, greed, and societal decline. Flaxman skillfully captures these themes through his attention to detail and composition. The classical elements present within "Iron Age" make it an exquisite piece for any lover of classics or those interested in exploring ancient literature through visual art. This print serves as both a testament to Flaxman's talent as well as an invitation for viewers to delve into the rich narratives found within Greek mythology. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly reproduced this artwork with utmost precision, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in all its glory. It is indeed a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
