EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning vellum manuscript titled "Ms 1335 f. 180 The Flotilla of Alexander the Great, from Vie d Alexandre le Grand". Created by the French School in the 15th century, this masterpiece can be found in the Bibliotheque Municipale in Reims, France. The artwork is part of a French edition biography of Alexander the Great written by Quintus Curtius Rufus around 42 AD and translated by Vasque de Lucene, a Portuguese humanist scholar at the Burgundian Court. Commissioned by Charles the Bold around 1468, this lavishly decorated manuscript depicts an awe-inspiring scene from history. Intriguingly detailed, it portrays Alexander's formidable navy sailing through treacherous waters infested with monstrous creatures. As his fleet advances fearlessly towards victory, they encounter a colossal serpent-like dragon that threatens their progress. With bravery and skillful tactics, Alexander's troops engage in combat with this fantastical beast to protect their emperor and secure their conquests. This image offers a glimpse into ancient naval warfare and highlights both the power of Alexander's army and his legendary status as one of history's greatest conquerors. It also exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Through its intricate depiction of mythical creatures intertwined with historical events, this extraordinary artwork transports viewers back to an era where legends were born and empires were forged.
