This print titled "Iskander Comforts the Dying Darius, 1590" transports viewers to a significant moment in history. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork captures the essence of compassion and humanity amidst the chaos of war. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills painted in serene shades of blue and white, the scene depicts Iskander (also known as Alexander the Great), comforting his dying half-brother Darius III on a battlefield.
