The Banquet of Philip
EDITORS COMMENTS
lithograph captures a pivotal moment in ancient history, depicting the intense argument between Alexander the Great and Attalus at his father's banquet. This 19th-century English School print, part of a private collection, brings to life the clash between two powerful figures from Macedonian history. In this scene, we witness the tension rising as insults are exchanged amidst an opulent wedding banquet. The central figure is Alexander III of Macedon, renowned as one of history's greatest military strategists. His fiery temperament and ambition are evident as he engages in a heated dispute with Attalus. Philip II of Macedon, Alexander's father and ruler of Macedonia during that time period, presides over the gathering. As guests look on in astonishment or anticipation, it becomes clear that this confrontation will have far-reaching consequences for both individuals involved and their respective kingdoms. The detailed engraving showcases historical accuracy while also capturing the drama and intensity of this significant event. It serves as a reminder not only of ancient power struggles but also highlights human emotions such as pride, anger, and determination. This lithograph from Bridgeman Images provides viewers with a glimpse into an era long past—a moment frozen in time where political ambitions clashed within the confines of an extravagant banquet hall.
