EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the "History of Alexander the Great". The scene depicted is one of intense drama and historical significance. In this tapestry, created by the renowned Manufacture of Tournai, we witness the youth of Alexander as he bravely captures Pausanias and brings him to his father King Philip's bedside. The composition showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship that define early Renaissance art. The tapestry, housed in the Villa del Principe Doria in Genoa (previously displayed at the esteemed Doria-Pamphili Gallery in Rome), exemplifies both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The image transports us back to Europe during the first millennium A. D. , immersing us in a world where military might and noble lineage were paramount. We see Alexander wearing armor, symbolizing his position as a warrior prince destined for greatness. His attire reflects both fashion trends of that era and insignia denoting his military rank. The tower-like structure behind them hints at their location within a castle or fortified stronghold, emphasizing their role as defenders on an ancient battlefield. This architectural element adds depth to our understanding of military life during this period. Notably, Alinari Fratelli captured this photograph sometime between 1920-1930 but it represents an artwork dating back to approximately 1460. Through this lens, we gain insight into how historical events continue to inspire artistic expression across centuries. In summary, this remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into history through its portrayal of Alexander's youth and his pivotal role in securing his father's crown. It serves as a testament to human ambition, power dynamics within nobility, and enduring artistic traditions spanning multiple periods throughout European history.
