EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Alexander the Great, the legendary Macedonian Greek king and general. Created by Michael Burghers, a renowned artist from the 17th to 18th century, this print showcases Alexander's commanding presence and his significant role in history. Dressed in an elaborate ancient Greek costume, Alexander stands tall with an air of authority. His piercing gaze reflects his determination as he gazes into the distance, contemplating his next conquest. The intricate details of his attire highlight both his regal status and military prowess. The inclusion of a barrel in this artwork adds an interesting element to the composition. Perhaps symbolizing strength or victory, it alludes to Alexander's numerous triumphs on the battlefield. As one of history's greatest conquerors, he expanded his empire across vast territories during the 4th century BC. This engraving was originally created for Plutarch's Lives, a famous biography collection that chronicles notable figures from classical antiquity. It serves as a testament to Alexander's enduring legacy and impact on ancient Greece and Macedonia. Displayed within private collections today, this print allows us to glimpse into the life of one of history's most influential leaders. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, it serves as a reminder of Alexander's remarkable achievements that continue to inspire generations even today.
