EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Alexander the Great as a young boy listening intently to his esteemed tutor, Aristotle. The image, created around 1875, transports us back to ancient Greece when this legendary monarch was just beginning his journey towards greatness. In the span of only 13 years, Alexander III of Macedon achieved what seemed impossible at the time – he conquered an immense empire that stretched from the Mediterranean all the way to India. However, tragedy struck too soon for this remarkable leader. At the tender age of 33, Alexander succumbed to a fever while residing in Babylon's palace of Nebuchadnezzar. Following his untimely demise, his vast empire rapidly disintegrated. The photograph not only showcases Alexander's youth but also symbolizes the power of education and mentorship. Aristotle played a pivotal role in shaping Alexander's intellect and instilling within him invaluable knowledge and wisdom. This image serves as a testament to their unique bond and highlights how influential teachers can be in molding great minds. With its monochrome aesthetic and intricate details captured through wood engraving techniques, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia for ancient times. It reminds us of both the heroism embodied by Alexander himself and the intellectual prowess exemplified by Aristotle – two figures whose legacies have left an indelible mark on human history.
