Alexander the Great, (356-323 BC), 1425
Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), c336-c323 BC. In only 13 years, Alexander III of Macedon conquered a vast empire stretching from the Mediterranean to India. Alexander died of a fever in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, aged only 33, and his empire broke up rapidly after his death. In this excerpt from a Persian manuscript, Alexander, or Ishkandar as he was known to the Persians, is being told that, great conqueror though he is, he himself will be conquered by death. From the Bodleian Library, Oxford

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Alexander the Great, one of history's most renowned conquerors. In this 15th-century Persian manuscript excerpt, we witness a powerful moment as Alexander, also known as Ishkandar to the Persians, is confronted with his own mortality. Despite his extraordinary military achievements and empire-building prowess, he is reminded that even he will ultimately succumb to death. The image showcases Alexander's regal presence and commanding stature. Dressed in royal attire and adorned with a crown, he stands beneath an ancient tree symbolizing both life and nature's inevitable cycle of decay. The juxtaposition between his earthly power and the prophecy of his demise creates a thought-provoking narrative. Alexander's legacy reverberates throughout time as we contemplate the fleeting nature of human existence. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that no matter how mighty or heroic one may be, mortality remains an undeniable truth. Preserved within the Bodleian Library at Oxford University, this rare artifact offers us a glimpse into ancient Greece's rich history and its interactions with Persian culture. It encapsulates not only the story of Alexander but also represents centuries-old connections between nations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection by Unknown creator, let us reflect on our own place in history and ponder what it means to leave behind such an enduring legacy like that of Alexander the Great.
