EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic encounter between Alexander the Great and Diogenes, two historical figures who left an indelible mark on ancient Greece. In this color lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist in the 20th century, we witness a powerful moment frozen in time. The scene depicts Alexander approaching Diogenes, a renowned philosopher known for his unconventional lifestyle and disdain for material possessions. Despite being one of the most powerful men in history, Alexander humbly kneels before Diogenes, as if seeking wisdom from this wise sage. The image is based on Ada Russell's book "Alexander The Great" published around 1920. It was skillfully illustrated by A Castaigne and William Matthews, whose attention to detail brings life to this historic encounter. Through their artistry, we are transported back to a time when these extraordinary individuals crossed paths. This meeting symbolizes the clash between ambition and enlightenment; power and simplicity; conqueror and philosopher. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but ponder the profound impact that both Alexander and Diogenes had on shaping our understanding of history. Their stories continue to inspire us today as reminders of human greatness in its various forms - whether through military conquest or intellectual pursuit.
