EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Battle of Issus, which took place in 333 BC. In this remarkable depiction, we see Alexander the Great positioned at the far left, leading his forces to victory against Persian king Darius III in Cilicia (now southern Anatolia). The artwork is based on a Roman mosaic discovered at Pompeii and created by an Alexandrian artist during ancient times. The image transports us back to a time when warfare was fought with great valor and strategic brilliance. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene as soldiers clad in armor engage in fierce combat on horseback and chariots. Spears and swords clash amidst a backdrop of intense action, symbolizing the conquests that defined Alexander's reign. Notably, this print offers more than just a visual spectacle; it also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression. It reminds us of Pompeii's tragic fate - destroyed by volcanic eruption in 79 AD - but preserves its cultural heritage through this stunning illustration. Through this artwork, we gain insight into ancient Greece's military prowess and their encounters with Persia. It highlights Alexander's significant role as commander and king of Macedonia while shedding light on Darius III's valiant efforts to defend his empire. Overall, this print captures both historical significance and artistic beauty, making it an invaluable piece for those fascinated by ancient civilizations or seeking inspiration from past triumphs.
