Dudley Tennant in 1920, this color lithograph transports us back to a pivotal moment in ancient history. In vivid detail, we witness Alexander the Great, the legendary Macedonian king (356-323 BC), leading his army into a fierce confrontation against Darius III (399-330 BC), the Persian ruler. Mounted on powerful steeds, these two kings clash amidst a chaotic battlefield filled with soldiers and weaponry. The artist masterfully portrays the sheer magnitude of this battle scene, highlighting every element that makes it truly epic. From spears piercing through the air to horses galloping with unwavering determination, each stroke brings life and energy to this historical event.

His spear poised for action symbolizes his leadership and prowess as a warrior. "The Battle of Issus" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it encapsulates a significant turning point in history where one man's ambition clashed with another's empire. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with war and conquest while honoring those who fought valiantly on both sides.
