""Except Sophocles," said Goethe," I know no one who is so dear to me.". Menander is permeated with purity, nobility, greatness and joy of life, the charm of his poetry is unattainable. It is a pity, of course, that we have so few of his creations, But this little is priceless, and people gifted can learn a lot from him."
( And. P. Eckerman, "Conversations with Goethe in the last years of his life")
Menander, a Greek playwright, one of the greatest masters of Comedy novoaltaiskiy was born in Ancient Athens approx. .342 BC. Menander was a peer and friend of Epicurus, a friend and disciple of Theophrastus. The famous grammarian Aristophanes of Byzantium (262—185 BC) took Menandra first place after Homer. The mentorship of comedies, loyalty to life, nobility and purity of speech extols in Menandra Plutarch, who puts him above Aristophanes. « It is not necessary to visit the theater,- says the moralist-if not given anything from Menander». According to Quintilian, Menander glory of his eclipsed all rivals and enveloped them in darkness.
The glory of Menander was not rejected by Christian writers. The Apostle Paul, Jerome, Clement of Alexandria found it possible to praise Menander and borrow wise sayings from him - for example, the Apostle Paul quotes Menander: " Bad company corrupts good morals".
According to philosophical views, Menander is closest to Epicurus, and on the construction of plays and the abundance of everyday maxims in them - to Euripides.
A copy of the ancient Greek fresco from the house of Menander in Pompeii made pastel pencils on the sketch gouache.With the help of French hand-cast paper with a density of 330 g/m2, I tried to simulate a fragment of an old stone wall with chips, with the image preserved on it.
How to keep
Despite the fact that the picture is covered with varnish finish for pastel and charcoal, the most reliable preservation of pastels - under glass and Passepartout. In this case, the pastel work can live, without losing its initial charm, for a very long time.
Preferably, at registration, to superimpose the image on top of the Mat, thus keeping a beautiful live edge.
