EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of Alexander the Great in all his grandeur. The 19th-century style print transports us back to ancient Greece, where this legendary emperor reigned supreme. In this allegory painting, we witness a classical Greek scene that exudes European culture and traditional values. The image showcases the intricate details of Gustave Dore's woodcut technique, adding a touch of nostalgia to this timeless piece. Alexander stands tall with a crown upon his head, symbolizing his status as a royal figure. A laurel wreath adorns him, representing victory and honor in ancient civilization. As we gaze at this portrait created over a century ago by Jean de la Fontaine, we are reminded of the rich history and literature that have shaped our world today. This print serves as an ode to past times when art and craft were celebrated through engraved images like these. With its Victorian-style charm and old-fashioned allure, this artwork invites us to appreciate the beauty found within retro revival pieces. It sparks curiosity about forgotten eras while paying homage to classical styles that continue to inspire contemporary artists. Duncan1890's rendition of "La Fontaines Fables - Alexander the Great" is not just an antique print; it is an embodiment of cultural heritage that transcends time itself.
