EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 16th century depicts a legendary scene of Alexander the Great being carried into the air by two majestic griffins. The artist, believed to be Hans Schäufelein, skillfully captures the mythical and heroic nature of this momentous event. Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great, is shown adorned in armor and holding a spear, symbolizing his power and military prowess. As he is lifted off the ground by these magnificent mythological creatures, one cannot help but feel awe at their strength and grace. The intricate details in this woodcut bring to life not only Alexander's story but also elements of Greek mythology. The griffins themselves are beautifully rendered with their powerful wings spread wide against a backdrop of billowing clouds. This ethereal setting adds an otherworldly quality to the scene, emphasizing its mythical significance. As we gaze upon this artwork now housed in a private collection, we are transported back in time to an era when legends were born and heroes roamed ancient lands. It serves as a reminder of Alexander's extraordinary achievements as King of Macedon and his enduring place in history. This woodcut print invites us to marvel at both human ambition and our fascination with mythological creatures. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of stories that continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
