EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio brings to life the grandeur and romance of "The marriage of Alexander and Roxana". The scene is set in ancient Greece, during the 4th century BC, as Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, weds his beloved Roxana. Surrounded by a chorus of angelic putti and cherubs, Alexander stands tall at the center. With regal grace, he offers a crown to his bride-to-be who sits elegantly at his side. The intricate details in their attire showcase the opulence and splendor befitting such an occasion. Caraglio's masterful use of black and white adds depth and intensity to this Renaissance artwork. Every stroke captures the emotions that must have filled the air on that momentous day. The expressions on both faces reveal a mix of joy, anticipation, and perhaps even a touch of apprehension. "The marriage of Alexander and Roxana" serves not only as a testament to love but also as an exploration into history itself. It transports us back in time to witness one of Macedonia's most influential leaders joining forces with his queen. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images displayed proudly within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded once again why Raphael Sanzio remains one of Italy's greatest Renaissance artists.
