Alexander and Roxana, 1635
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Laurent de La Hyre that depicts the historical romance between Alexander the Great and his wife Roxana. This masterpiece, painted in 1635, measures an impressive 169.7 x 145.5cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene unfolds within a regal chamber, adorned with rich tapestries and opulent furnishings. Alexander stands tall and majestic in his suit of armor, while Roxana gazes at him affectionately, her delicate hand resting on his arm. A little cherubin hovers above them, symbolizing their divine connection. In the background, a large group of people observes this intimate moment of courtship. The room is filled with bystanders dressed in lavish apparel from the early seventeenth century. Even a camel can be seen peeking through the doorway. La Hyre's attention to detail brings this historic love affair to life as he captures every gesture and posture with precision. The composition exudes elegance and grandeur as it transports us back to a time when monarchs ruled supreme. This extraordinary painting showcases La Hyre's mastery of oil on canvas technique while immersing viewers into an enchanting world of romance and royalty. It serves as both a testament to the enduring power of love throughout history and as an exquisite example of fine art from the seventeenth century.
