EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph captures the defiant spirit of Alcibiades as he stands up to a teamster who disrupted his game of dice in the road. The young boy, portrayed with determination and courage, calls upon the man to wait until he has thrown his dice before continuing on his way. When the driver refuses, Alcibiades fearlessly throws himself in front of the wagon, refusing to back down.
The scene depicted in this print is a powerful reminder of standing up for what you believe in, even in the face of adversity. Alcibiades' actions show that sometimes it takes bravery and conviction to make a stand against injustice or disrespect.
The imagery adds a timeless quality to this historical moment, captured by artist Leslie Mosley for Hutchinson's History of the Nations. The intensity of emotion conveyed through Alcibiades' gesture is palpable, making this artwork not only visually captivating but also emotionally resonant.
This print serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes defiance can be an act of strength and integrity, inspiring us all to stand firm in our beliefs no matter the circumstances.
