EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of triumph and adoration in ancient Greece. The multitude, filled with fervor and excitement, salutes a heroic figure amidst loud acclamations. Illustrated by the talented Walter Crane in the 1930s, this vibrant colour lithograph brings to life "The Story of Greece". Intriguingly set against the backdrop of Athens, this image showcases not only the hero but also his surroundings. The costumes worn by both the hero and the crowd transport us back to an era steeped in history and tradition. Their attire reflects their allegiance to their city-state as well as their readiness for conflict. Weapons are prominently displayed throughout this illustration, symbolizing the ever-present threat of war that loomed over ancient Greece. This visual reminder serves as a testament to the courage and resilience exhibited by its people during times of conflict. As we delve deeper into this artwork's narrative, it becomes evident that our hero is none other than Alcibiades – a prominent figure known for his military prowess and political influence. His presence elicits admiration from both allies and enemies alike. With Persia looming on one side, Alcibiades stands at the forefront of Greek resistance against external threats. The crowds surrounding him represent unity in purpose – an unwavering determination to defend their homeland. This stunning print from Bridgeman Images encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in Greek history but also highlights themes such as bravery, patriotism, and collective strength that continue to resonate
