EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary tale of Alexander the Great's valiant battle against fearsome dragons and a menacing species known as Scorpion. Taken from Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" published in London back in 1878, this lithograph offers a glimpse into medieval imagination and storytelling. In this artwork, we witness Alexander leading his mighty army on horseback, fearlessly charging towards these fantastical creatures. The intensity of the battle is palpable as both sides clash with unwavering determination. The horses gallop fiercely, their manes flowing in the wind, while Alexander stands tall as a symbol of male heroism and bravery. The artist skillfully captures every detail of this epic confrontation – from the intricate scales of the dragons to the ferocious expression on Alexander's face. It is evident that this depiction draws inspiration from a 13th-century miniature, adding an authentic touch to its historical significance. As we delve into this image, we are transported to an era where myths intertwine with reality. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of triumph over seemingly insurmountable challenges. This extraordinary piece not only celebrates artistry but also invites us to reflect upon our own capacity for courage and resilience when faced with adversity.
