This book presents an in-depth study of the remarkable Thracian chieftain’s tomb discovered in Bulgaria in 1944—an extraordinary example of Early Hellenistic art. Highlighting the exquisite wall paintings in the tomb’s passage and domed chamber, the book explores their vivid realism, emotional depth, and refined artistic execution. Central to the narrative is a moving farewell scene that reflects Thracian beliefs in immortality and resonates with the poetic sensitivity of classical Greek masters like Praxiteles and Scopas. The work celebrates the artistic brilliance and cultural richness of Ancient Thrace.
