"The Father of History" Print

From "The Solace of Antiquity" series. “The Father of History” - A bust of Herodotus in the Stoa of Attalos, Agora, Athens, Greece Classical antiquity is omnipresent in Greece, woven into the cultural legacy of the country physically, psychologically and intellectually. It is an immense, epic, unavoidable, and at times, mysterious presence, mostly manifest through its architecture. This drawing project, started in July 2019, explores the themes of omnipresence, permanence/impermanence, and solace. This is a drawing of a statue of Herodotus that I tripped upon (quite by accident) in the Stoa of Attalos in the ancient Agora in Athens, Greece. I'd been reading "The Histories" through the winter of 2019-2019 and had no idea this statue was there. I happened to exit the building by this column and suddenly found myself looking at him eye to eye. From a photo I took.
