EDITORS COMMENTS
Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great, is depicted in this 16th century engraving by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio. The image captures a moment of respite for the legendary conqueror and his lover, Roxana, as they recline amongst a group of cherubs. The print, created using the intaglio printing process, showcases the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings. Alexander, wearing a crown and a flowing robe, gazes intently at his beloved Roxana. She, in turn, looks up at him with a tender expression. The cherubs, symbolizing love and fertility, surround the couple, adding an angelic and ethereal quality to the scene. This engraving, titled "Alexander and Roxana," is a testament to the cultural heritage of the 16th century. It is believed that Jacopo Caraglio, an Italian engraver, created this work around 1580. The print is a rare example of the artist's mastery of the engraving technique, which allowed him to create intricate lines and shading. The image has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is currently housed. It is a popular piece among art enthusiasts and historians, who appreciate the historical significance of the subject matter and the artistic skill of the creator. The print is a reminder of the rich artistic and historical legacy of the 16th century, and the enduring power of art to capture the human experience and convey it across generations.
