EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of one of history's greatest conquerors, Alexander the Great. Dating back to 1873, this woodcut portrays Alexander III of Macedon astride his beloved horse, Bucephalus. Known for his remarkable military prowess and strategic brilliance, Alexander forged an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean all the way to India in just a mere 13 years. Tragically, this legendary figure met an untimely demise at the age of 33 due to a fever while residing in Babylon's palace of Nebuchadnezzar. Following his death, his vast empire rapidly disintegrated. In this image, we witness Alexander as he rides confidently into battle on horseback – a symbol of power and dominance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness to this nineteenth-century portrayal. The artist skillfully captures both the regal stature and heroic aura surrounding Alexander as he leads his troops into war. This woodcut serves as a testament to not only Alexander's extraordinary achievements but also to his enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the indelible mark left by one man who dared to dream big and conquered nations with unwavering determination. It is through images like these that we can connect with history and appreciate the immense impact individuals can have on shaping our world.
