EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century print, we witness a profound moment in history as Aristotle, the renowned philosopher of ancient Greece, imparts his wisdom to none other than Alexander the Great. The scene unfolds within the pages of Le Livre du Tresor by Brunetto Latini, preserved in all its glory at Bibliotheque Inguimbertine in Carpentras, France. As Aristotle instructs Alexander on matters of morality and encourages him to hold women in disdain, their figures are beautifully captured on vellum by an Italian School artist. This medieval manuscript transports us back to a time when education was treasured above all else. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. A towering structure serves as a backdrop for this enlightening encounter between teacher and pupil. Illuminated scrolls lie nearby, representing the knowledge that both men seek to acquire and pass down through generations. Notably present are two majestic horses standing gracefully beside them - symbols of strength and power that mirror Alexander's own ambitions as he would go on to become one of history's greatest conquerors. This exquisite miniature painting showcases not only the artistic skill of its creator but also highlights the significance placed upon education during this era. It reminds us that even great leaders like Alexander were shaped by influential mentors who guided them towards greatness. Through this image from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where philosophy meets empire-building - a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by these extraordinary individuals.
