EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Exile of Cleombrutus" by Leonidas II Leonidas takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts King Leonidas II pronouncing the banishment of Cleombrotus II, while the latter listens intently, lost in thought. The emotional depth captured on Cleombrotus' face speaks volumes about the weight of his exile. Intriguingly, we learn that Cleombrotus' wife Cheilonis, who is also King Leonidas II's daughter, had pleaded with her father earlier not to execute her husband and spare their lives. This detail adds an extra layer of complexity to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. As we examine the photograph closely, we notice a group of soldiers observing this pivotal moment in silence. Their presence serves as a reminder of the power dynamics at play and hints at potential consequences for those involved. Created by Charles Howard Hodges in London during 1789, this paper print measures approximately 493 mm in height and 608 mm in width. It belongs to the Liszt Collection and offers viewers a glimpse into an evocative historical event. The image invites contemplation on themes such as betrayal, family loyalty, and political intrigue. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within royal families, personal relationships can be fraught with tension and sacrifice.
