EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the intense clash between the Macedonian phalanx and the Persians during a historic battle. Created by Heinrich Leutemann in the 19th century, this print showcases an iconic moment from ancient warfare. The scene portrays Alexander the Great's formidable army engaging in combat with Persian forces. The disciplined Macedonian soldiers, armed with spears, form an impenetrable wall known as the phalanx. Their organized formation stands in stark contrast to the chaos of battle surrounding them. Intricately detailed, this artwork captures both the grandeur and brutality of ancient warfare. The cavalrymen charge forward on their horses while infantry soldiers fight fiercely on foot. Each soldier is locked in a life-or-death struggle as they confront each other on the battlefield. This print serves as an educational tool, offering viewers a glimpse into history and highlighting key aspects of military strategy employed by Alexander III of Macedonia. It symbolizes not only conquest but also resilience and determination exhibited by both sides. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us of how conflicts have shaped our world throughout time. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's capacity for bravery and sacrifice amidst tumultuous times.
