EDITORS COMMENTS
Alexander the Great (356-323 BC): A Regal Portrait in Marble This stunning bust of Alexander the Great, sculpted by the renowned Greek artist Leochares in the 4th century BC, is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of history's most celebrated figures. Discovered at the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, this marble masterpiece now resides in the Acropolis Museum, inviting visitors to peer into the face of the ancient Macedonian king who conquered the known world. Born in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia, Alexander III, known as 'the Great,' ascended the throne at the tender age of 20. He went on to lead his armies on an unprecedented campaign of conquest, expanding the Macedonian Empire to include territories as far east as India. The serene expression on Alexander's face in this portrait suggests a thoughtful and wise ruler, a man who commanded both respect and loyalty from his subjects. The intricately carved details of his features, from the defined jawline to the curly locks framing his face, underscore the skill and artistry of Leochares. This portrait bust is a precious reminder of the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece and the enduring influence of its greatest kings. As a symbol of power, leadership, and the indomitable human spirit, Alexander's likeness continues to captivate and inspire generations.
