EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Alexander the Great taming Bucephalus" takes us back to ancient times and showcases a defining moment in history. Created by Francois Schommer in the early 20th century, this print captures the essence of Alexander's legendary conquests. In this scene, we witness Alexander's remarkable bond with his beloved horse, Bucephalus. With skill and determination, he tames the wild creature before him. The black and white illustration adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the significance of this historical event. The lithograph is part of Albrecht Wirth's book "Im Wandel der Jahrtausende" (In the Changing Millennia), published by Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft in 1910. It beautifully portrays Alexander as both a fearless warrior and an exceptional leader who possessed an extraordinary connection with animals. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to Greece during Alexander's reign. We can almost feel the intensity of their encounter as they stand against a backdrop that hints at Macedonia's grandeur. This depiction not only celebrates Alexander's triumph over nature but also symbolizes his ability to conquer any challenge that stood in his way. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this lithograph serves as a testament to one of history's most renowned figures – King Alexander III of Macedon – forever known as "Alexander the Great.
