EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and complexity of Tiepolo's fresco, "Continence of Alexander the Great". Created in 1743, this masterpiece resides in the central hall at Villa Cordellina in Montecchio Maggiore, Italy. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, also known as Giambattista Tiepolo, skillfully portrays a significant moment from history with his signature baroque style. The scene depicts Alexander the Great showcasing his remarkable clemency and magnanimity as a military commander. Surrounded by aristocracy and people from various walks of life, Alexander is seen on horseback amidst a group of horses and ponies. The composition beautifully captures both the power and gentleness embodied by these majestic creatures. In this artwork, Tiepolo masterfully conveys not only the historical significance but also the emotional depth of this event. The artist's attention to detail brings each figure to life – from prisoners seeking mercy to members of Persian royalty representing King Darius' family. As we gaze upon this stunning print captured by Ghiro Roli, we are transported back to ancient times when Alexander III of Macedon reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of conquest and warfare, compassion can prevail. This artwork stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and humanity's capacity for mercy amidst conflict.
