Painted in 1810, this exquisite artwork measures 33.5x42 cm and is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. The scene unfolds with grandeur as Alexander stands tall, donning his iconic helmet adorned with plumes that symbolize his status as an emperor. His gaze fixates upon his bride-to-be, Roxana, who emanates grace and beauty in her Greek attire. The artist masterfully captures their love through subtle gestures and tender expressions. This painting not only celebrates their union but also serves as a testament to the merging of cultures during ancient times. It encapsulates the essence of Greek marriage customs while showcasing Alexander's profound influence over vast territories.
