Engraving of a scene in the life of Aristides
Aristides (530-468 BC) was an ancient Athenian statesman. He flourished at the beginning of Athens' Classical period and is remembered for his generalship in the Persian War. The ancient historian Herodotus cited him as ’the best and most honourable man in Athens’, and he received similarly reverent treatment in Plato's Socratic dialogues.
Engraving by Reinier Vinkele after Bernhard Rode.
