EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the legendary encounter between Queen Cleophis and Alexander the Great. After his triumphant conquest of Mazaka, Queen Kleophis graciously offers wine to the victorious warrior king. The scene unfolds on a grand terrace adorned with intricate reliefs, showcasing the opulence of the palace. On the left side of the image stands Alexander himself, surrounded by his trusted officers who have accompanied him on this remarkable journey. Their presence exudes power and authority as they bask in their hard-earned victory. Meanwhile, on the right side, Queen Cleophis is accompanied by her loyal ladies-in-waiting, radiating elegance and grace. Intriguingly captured in this composition is not only the exchange between these two influential figures but also glimpses into their respective worlds. Behind them looms a magnificent round fortress tower that serves as a reminder of both strength and defense. Gerard Hoet's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this historical tableau through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to immerse ourselves in an era long past while marveling at its rich tapestry of culture and conquest
