EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Two studies of a Standing Man with a Sword (Alexander the Great)" by Peter Candid, an esteemed Dutch artist from the 17th century. The image captures the essence of Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, who was one of history's most influential figures. With his muscular physique and regal presence, he holds a sword in his hand, symbolizing his power and authority as king. The verso side of this print reveals additional studies by Candid, including depictions of a leg, an arm, a hand, and a figure's neck. These sketches provide insight into Candid's meticulous approach to capturing human anatomy and form. Rendered with pen and black ink on pink prepared paper, heightened with white gouache over black and red chalks, this artwork exemplifies Candid's mastery in creating detailed drawings. The use of color adds depth to the composition while emphasizing certain elements. Housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (the Met), this piece is part of their extensive collection that celebrates art from various periods. Its close-up view allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously crafted by Pieter de Witte (Peter Candid). This stunning portrayal not only pays homage to Alexander the Great but also serves as a testament to Candid's exceptional talent as an artist during the Mannerist period.
