EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Wars of Alexander the Great" marble frieze, a masterpiece created by Bertel Thorvaldsen. The engraving, executed by the German School in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into this iconic historical event. The image depicts an army of troops from various combat units, ready for battle during Alexander's conquests. The scene is brought to life with intricately carved sculptures of horses, racehorses, ponies, and other animals that add depth and realism to the artwork. These creatures symbolize both the wildness of nature and their role as essential companions in warfare. Thorvaldsen's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece; from the meticulously crafted soldiers to their uniforms and weaponry. Female soldiers can also be seen among them, highlighting their significant contribution to military operations during that time. The use of black-and-white adds a timeless quality to this engraving while emphasizing its historical significance. It transports viewers back in time to witness one of history's most remarkable military campaigns. As we admire this work today, it serves as a reminder not only of Alexander's extraordinary achievements but also pays homage to ancient Greece and its lasting impact on European history. This photograph print truly captures the essence and grandeur encapsulated within Thorvaldsen's magnificent sculpture.
