EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from the Alexander Sarcophagus, dating back to the late 4th century BC. The sarcophagus, discovered in the Royal Necropolis of Sidon, is an exquisite Hellenistic stone masterpiece adorned with bas-relief carvings depicting none other than Alexander the Great of Macedon. In this particular scene captured on the print, we witness Alexander engaged in a thrilling hunting expedition. Mounted on his majestic horseback, he leads a group of men through rugged terrain as they pursue their prey. The intensity and determination on their faces are palpable, reflecting both their skill as hunters and their unwavering loyalty to their king. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly astonishing. Every muscle of both man and animal is intricately carved with precision and finesse. The vibrant colors used bring life to this ancient depiction, allowing us to imagine ourselves amidst the action-packed hunt. As we gaze upon this photograph print at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul today, we cannot help but be transported back centuries ago when Alexander roamed these lands. It serves as a powerful reminder of his legacy as one of history's greatest conquerors and leaders. Through art like this piece from the Alexander Sarcophagus, we can connect with our past and gain insight into ancient civilizations that have shaped our world today.
