EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Nastasic transports us back to the ancient world, specifically to a pivotal moment in history when King Porus of India (?-317 BC) mustered his mighty elephants before a battle. The image, rendered in vivid color and intricate detail, showcases the artist's skillful use of illustration techniques reminiscent of oriental style woodblock art. In this vertical composition, we see an array of men standing alongside majestic Asian elephants, their imposing presence evoking both awe and fear. The warriors are dressed in attire that reflects the classical Greek influence on Indian culture during this era. Among them stands King Porus himself, a royal figure exuding power and authority. The engraving captures the intensity and anticipation preceding a significant clash between two great civilizations: Greece under Alexander the Great and India under King Porus. It serves as a testament to the historical significance of this encounter. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how ancient civilizations clashed on distant lands like India and Pakistan (then known as Poros). This image invites us to delve into our shared human history filled with tales of war, conquests, and cultural exchange. Nastasic's artwork allows us to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in time—a glimpse into an epic battle that shaped nations. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate the richness and complexity of our past while honoring those who fought bravely for their kingdoms centuries ago.
