EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Alexandre et Timoclee" transports us to ancient Greece, showcasing the exquisite artistry of Nicolas Lesueur. Engraved with meticulous precision, Lesueur's work beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. The scene depicts Alexandre and Timoclee, two prominent figures from Greek mythology. Alexandre was a renowned conqueror and ruler, while Timoclee was a celebrated poet known for his nomes and dithyrambs. This enchanting artwork brings together their contrasting worlds in a harmonious blend of power and creativity. Perino del Vaga's lithograph skillfully reproduces Lesueur's original engraving, adding depth and texture to the composition. The print measures 27.5x35.1 cm, making it an intimate yet impactful piece that demands attention. Displayed at Leeds Museums and Galleries (Leeds Art Gallery) in the United Kingdom, this artwork is part of their extensive collection celebrating diverse artistic expressions throughout history. As we admire this remarkable print, we are reminded of John Dryden's poem "Alexander's Feast" where Timotheus plays a significant role. This connection adds another layer of meaning to the artwork as it bridges literature with visual art. With its timeless appeal and rich cultural significance, "Alexandre et Timoclee" continues to captivate viewers today just as it did centuries ago when it was first created by Pietro Buonaccorsi (Perino del Vaga).
