Hellenism - Hellenistic Age of Greece
In spite of the political turbulence and chaos of the fourth century BC, Greece was poised on its most triumphant period: the Hellenistic age. The word, Hellenistic, is derived from the word, Hellene, which was the Greek word for the Greeks. The Hellenistic age was the "age of the Greeks; during this time, Greek culture and power extended itself across the known world. While the classical age of Greece produced great literature, poetry, philosophy, drama, and art, the Hellenistic age "hellenized" the world. At the root of Hellenism were the conquests of Philip of Macedon and his son, Alexander. However, the Macedonians did more than control territory; they actively exported Greek culture: politics, law, literature, philosophy, religion, and art. This was a new idea, exporting culture, and more than anything else this exporting of culture would deeply influence all the civilizations and cultures that would later erupt from this soil: the Romans, the Christians, the Jewish diaspora, and Islam.
This 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.
