EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Alexander the Great, a legendary warrior and conqueror who lived from 356 to 323 BC. Created by the Master of the Griselda Legend in around 1500, this tempera on panel artwork measures an impressive 105.4x50.8 cm. In this depiction, Alexander stands confidently with his hand on his hip, exuding power and authority. He is adorned in armor and wears a crown upon his head, symbolizing his status as a ruler. The intricate details of his sword and scabbard further emphasize his martial prowess. Surrounded by tents that hint at a military camp, Alexander's presence commands attention against a backdrop of Renaissance-inspired elements such as piccolomini crests and contraposto poses. Delicate cherubs or putti add an ethereal touch to the scene. The composition skillfully captures both the strength and grace associated with Alexander's character. It serves as a reminder of his historical significance as one of history's greatest military strategists. This particular print is housed within The Henry Barber Trust at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham—a testament to its artistic value and cultural importance. As it falls under Italian copyright laws, it can be enjoyed freely without any commercial use restrictions.
