EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Alexander Mosaic, a true masterpiece of ancient art. Located in the House of the Faun in Pompeii, Italy, this mosaic depicts the historic battle of Issus that took place in 333 B. C. between two legendary leaders - Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia. The level of detail captured in this image is truly awe-inspiring. The focus on Alexander himself reveals his commanding presence as he stands tall, clad in a suit of armor and wielding his sword with determination. His gaze seems to be fixed on something beyond our view, perhaps contemplating his next strategic move. The mosaic itself is a copy of an original painting by Philoxenos of Eretria from the 4th century B. C. , showcasing how even centuries ago people appreciated and replicated great works of art. This particular piece offers us a glimpse into both Roman civilization and ancient Greek history, highlighting their influence during classical times. As we admire this archeological artifact through time's lens, it transports us back to an era when empires clashed and shaped the course of history. It serves as a reminder not only of Alexander's military prowess but also represents significant cultural exchanges between Persian and Aegean civilizations. This print captures not just an image but also preserves fragments from our rich past for generations to come. Its vertical composition adds depth while emphasizing its grandeur against an outdoor backdrop. Let this extraordinary artwork transport you to another time - where legends were born and battles were
