EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving depicts a significant moment in ancient Spartan history. The scene showcases Cleombrotus II, the King of Sparta from c243-c240 B. C. , being banished by his own brother-in-law, Leonidas II, around 240 B. C. The artist Benjamin West beautifully captures the tension and drama of this historical event. We see Cleombrotus clad in regal robes, standing before a majestic temple with his daughter by his side. His expression reveals both defiance and resignation as he faces expulsion from the court. Leonidas II, portrayed as a stoic figure dressed in traditional Spartan hoplite armor, stands resolute beside him. The presence of other individuals suggests that this decision was not made lightly; it involved various courtiers and advisors who witnessed this dramatic turn of events. The composition also includes a woman and child - perhaps Cleombrotus' wife and son - adding an emotional layer to the narrative. Their expressions convey anguish and uncertainty as they witness their beloved husband and father being cast out. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the political intrigue and power struggles that characterized ancient Sparta's ruling class. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as loyalty, betrayal, family dynamics, and sacrifice within royal circles during this tumultuous period in history. As part of The Granger Collection's vast art collection, this engraving offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts to delve into ancient Greek history through Benjamin West's masterful interpretation.
