The Conqueror Conquered - Death of Alexander the Great at Babylon in the year 323 B. C
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that depicts the final moments of one of history's most legendary figures. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great. In this scene, we witness a solemn and poignant moment as Alexander lies on his deathbed in Babylon. Surrounded by his loyal companions and generals, his once invincible spirit now succumbs to mortality. The artist skillfully portrays both sorrow and admiration on their faces, reflecting their deep respect for their fallen leader. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur and power through its intricate details. From the opulent surroundings to the regal attire worn by those present, every element contributes to conveying Alexander's status as a conqueror who reshaped empires. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Harmsworth History of the World in 1907 but has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual impact. Now part of a private collection, it serves as a reminder not only of Alexander's remarkable achievements but also our shared human vulnerability in facing mortality. "The Conqueror Conquered" invites us to reflect upon our own legacies and reminds us that even great conquerors are ultimately conquered by time itself.
