EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Alexander coercing the Delphic Oracle" transports us back to ancient times and immerses us in a pivotal moment of history. The image depicts Alexander the Great, one of the most renowned and influential figures of all time, exerting his power over the revered Delphic Oracle. The scene is filled with tension as Alexander confronts the oracle, demanding answers to his burning questions. The artist skillfully captures this intense exchange through intricate details and masterful shading. We can almost feel the weight of Alexander's authority as he stands tall before the oracle, determined to extract knowledge from this sacred source. This print serves as an illustration for Ada Russell's book on Alexander The Great, offering readers a visual representation of this significant event in his life. It showcases not only Jean Alexandre Michel Andre Castaigne's artistic talent but also William Matthews' contribution to bringing history alive through their collaboration. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of Alexander's insatiable thirst for knowledge and his unwavering determination to conquer both land and wisdom. It is a testament to his relentless pursuit of greatness that has left an indelible mark on human civilization. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a remarkable piece from their collection – a window into our past that invites contemplation and reflection on our shared heritage.
