EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of the Arbelles, also known as The Battle of Issus, captured in this oil on canvas print by Jacques Courtois, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Taking place in southern Anatolia in November 333 BC, it depicts the clash between Alexander of Macedonia's invading troops and Darius III's army from Achaemenid Persia. In this dramatic scene, riders on horseback engage fiercely with their opponents. The Greek warriors demonstrate their skillful horsemanship and mastery of the spear as they charge towards the Persian forces. Horses gallop with determination across the battlefield, creating an atmosphere filled with tension and adrenaline. Courtois' meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate armor worn by both sides to the expressions of determination etched onto each warrior's face. Through his brushstrokes, he captures not only the physicality but also the emotional intensity that defines such a monumental battle. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of historical events that shaped civilizations. It invites us to reflect upon moments when great leaders clashed and empires hung in balance. As we gaze at this print, we are transported into an ancient world where bravery and strategy determined destinies.
