EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Alexandre Le Grand (Iskandar ou Iskander, 356-323 avant JC) et les sirenes" reads: "This miniature persane from the manuscript Iskandarnama depicts Alexandre Le Grand (Alexander the Great) observing a group of enchanting sirens as they bathe. The artwork, part of the Recueil du sultan Iskandar collection, was created in Iran during the 15th century and is now housed in the David Collection in Copenhagen. In this scene, Alexander stands on a rocky shore overlooking a serene sea filled with colorful fish. His gaze is fixed upon the mermaids who gracefully swim and frolic in the water. The artist skillfully captures their ethereal beauty and allure through intricate details and vibrant colors. This exquisite piece showcases not only Alexander's legendary status as a powerful king but also his fascination with mythical creatures like mermaids. It offers us a glimpse into Persian culture during medieval times, where legends and folklore intertwined with historical narratives. The combination of artistry, history, and mythology makes this artwork an invaluable treasure that transports viewers to another time and place. Through its rich symbolism and masterful execution, it invites us to delve into ancient tales while appreciating the timeless beauty found within Persian manuscripts. "
