EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Alexander questions the philosopher, physician and the goblet" we are transported back to ancient times in South Asia. The image depicts a thought-provoking encounter between Alexander the Great and three wise figures - a philosopher, a physician, and an intriguing goblet. The composition is set against a stunning landscape of lush trees and rolling hills, evoking a sense of tranquility and wisdom. As Alexander sits on his majestic horse, he engages in deep conversation with these sages who possess profound knowledge about life's mysteries. The presence of the goblet adds an air of intrigue to the scene. Perhaps it holds some secret elixir or symbolizes the quest for eternal wisdom that both Alexander and these learned individuals seek. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of philosophical inquiry as well as cultural exchange between different civilizations during this period. It invites us to ponder upon timeless questions about existence, purpose, and our place in the world. Through its intricate details rendered with opaque watercolor and gold on paper technique by Indian artists from the 17th century, this print showcases their exceptional skill in capturing not only human emotions but also nature's beauty. Displayed at San Diego Museum of Art as part of Edwin Binney 3rd Collection, this piece serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to exploring profound ideas across time and cultures.
