EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 12th century depicts a scene straight out of legend - Alexander the Great descending to the bottom of the sea in a glass barrel. The detailed mediaeval line drawing shows King Alexander studying the fishes, surrounded by majestic whales and graceful swordfish.
In this fascinating portrayal, we see Alexander's insatiable thirst for knowledge and exploration. His daring descent into the depths of the ocean symbolizes his fearless spirit and relentless pursuit of wisdom. It is a testament to his curiosity and determination to uncover the mysteries of the natural world.
The intricate details in this artwork transport us back to a time when science and discovery were at their peak during the Middle Ages. The image captures not only Alexander's quest for knowledge but also showcases the advancements in engineering and education during that era.
As we gaze upon this ancient depiction, we are reminded of how far we have come in our understanding of marine life and aquatic ecosystems. It serves as a reminder that curiosity knows no bounds, just like Alexander's legendary journey into uncharted waters within his glass barrel.
