EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history captured on vellum. Titled "Fol. 17v How Alexander the Great Mounted Bucephalus" it depicts the legendary conqueror, Alexander the Great, taming his faithful steed at a tender age of 12. The French School's exquisite craftsmanship from the 15th century is evident in this medieval masterpiece. Intriguingly, we witness Alexander astride Bucephalus, showcasing their unbreakable bond as they embark on countless conquests together. The image exudes an aura of power and determination that defined both man and horse throughout history. The scene unfolds within a bustling square where a crowd has gathered to witness this awe-inspiring sight. Amidst the throng stands Alexander himself, holding onto his walking stick or cane for support while commanding attention with his regal presence. The Gothic architecture surrounding them adds an air of grandeur to the composition, emphasizing their significance in shaping ancient Macedonia's destiny. This visual narrative transports us back to an era when legends were born and empires were forged through sheer willpower and courage. Preserved by Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee du Petit-Palais in France, this print serves as a testament to human triumph over adversity and exemplifies how art can immortalize historical moments for generations to come.
