Constantin Meunier was born 12 April 1831. He was inspired by the Parthenon frieze to honour working-class citizens, here miners, in his relief sculptures for the "Monument to Labour" now in Laeken, Brussels.

Arlene and Edith are two powerhouses of classics, especially bringing it to people who haven’t previously had access to it. This is an incredible project of theirs - I’m thrilled it’s going so well!
