EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front panel of a cassone, an ornate Italian marriage chest, depicting the grand procession of King Darius of Persia as he departs for the Battle of Issus. Created by Apollonio di Giovanni's workshop in Florence between 1450 and 1455, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic skill and attention to detail prevalent during the Renaissance period. In this scene, we witness Darius being accompanied by his mother Sisygambis and his wife Stateira. The regal trio is surrounded by a multitude of soldiers and attendants carrying various symbols of power and sacrifice. At the forefront, a sacrificial table adorned with offerings takes center stage alongside an intricately crafted statue of Apollo. The composition exudes both majesty and tension as it hints at the impending clash between Darius and Alexander the Great at Issus. This variant portrayal captures their fierce confrontation on the battlefield, adding another layer of historical significance to this artwork. The Liszt Collection has meticulously preserved this remarkable piece that seamlessly integrates history, artistry, and storytelling into one harmonious ensemble. As you gaze upon this photo print, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness this momentous departure firsthand - a pivotal event that shaped ancient history forever
