EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Plains of Philippi" takes us back to the 19th century and immerses us in the rich history of ancient Greece. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for Aunt Charlotte's Stories of Greek History for the Little Ones by Charlotte M Yonge, published by Marcus Ward in 1876. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to the Plains of Philippi, where significant historical events unfolded. With intricate detail and skilled craftsmanship, the English School engraver brings this momentous location to life. The vast plains stretch before our eyes as we imagine ourselves standing amidst its historic significance. As we explore this print further, it becomes clear that it serves as a gateway into European history. It reminds us of Greece's pivotal role in shaping Western civilization and highlights the enduring legacy left behind by ancient Greeks. The artist expertly captures both the grandeur and tranquility of these plains through their use of contrasting shades. This monochromatic palette adds depth and intensity to every stroke while emphasizing the timeless nature of this historical setting. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from the 19th century for all art enthusiasts to enjoy today.
