EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable male head sculpture of none other than Alexander the Great. Crafted from pentelic marble, this Roman work from the 2nd century AD is believed to be a reproduction of a Greek original dating back to the late 4th century BC. Housed in the Museo Barracco in Rome, Italy, this fragmentary artwork offers a glimpse into the grandeur and power associated with one of history's most iconic figures. The intricate details captured in this portrait are truly awe-inspiring. From his curly hair cascading around his face to his intense gaze directed upwards, every element exudes an air of classical elegance. Though broken and weathered by time, it only adds to its ancient allure and mystique. Alexander III of Macedon, famously known as Alexander the Great, was not just a king but also a legendary figure in mythology and ancient Greece. His conquests stretched far and wide across lands that were once considered unconquerable. This sculpture immortalizes his legacy as one of history's greatest military strategists and leaders. As we admire this antique masterpiece through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but marvel at how art has preserved moments from antiquity for us to appreciate centuries later. It serves as a reminder that even fragments can hold immense historical significance and continue to captivate our imagination today.
