EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a poignant moment in history, capturing the soldiers paying their final tribute to the great conqueror, Alexander the Great. Set in Babylon in 323 BC, this hand-colored halftone reproduction of a 19th-century illustration transports us to ancient times. The image portrays a scene filled with grief and reverence as Macedonian soldiers surround their dying leader. The somber expressions on their faces reflect not only their loyalty but also the immense loss they are about to face. With its vintage charm, this print allows us to witness an intimate glimpse into one of the most significant figures in ancient Greek history. Mesopotamia's grandeur is evident through the backdrop of Babylon, adding depth and historical context to this artwork. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we can almost feel ourselves transported back thousands of years ago when Alexander's empire stretched across vast lands. This photograph serves as a reminder that even mighty rulers like Alexander were mortal beings who faced mortality just like any other person. It encapsulates both the fragility of life and the indomitable spirit that characterized classical civilization. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this print is more than just an illustration; it is a window into ancient Greece and its profound impact on our world today.
