EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable encounter between two legendary figures: Diogenes and Alexander the Great. The great philosopher Diogenes is depicted standing proudly in front of his humble barrel, beckoning for Alexander and his entourage to step aside so that he may no longer be overshadowed by their presence. The image beautifully captures the essence of Diogenes' philosophy, as he challenges the powerful ruler to recognize the importance of individuality and personal freedom. With a simple gesture, he asks Alexander to get out of his light, symbolizing his desire for independence from societal expectations. The bottom coat of arms adds an air of grandeur to the scene, emphasizing both the significance of this historic meeting and its lasting impact on philosophical discourse. Created by Lorenzo Loli in Italy during the 17th century, this etching showcases exquisite craftsmanship on paper. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the timeless wisdom imparted by these iconic figures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst power and fame, it is crucial to maintain one's authenticity and stay true to oneself – just as Diogenes did when he dared ask Alexander to step aside from his light.
