EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving, created in 1820 after an illustration by L. Agricola, offers a captivating glimpse into the past with its depiction of the legendary ancient Macedonian king, Alexander the Great. The statue, housed in the esteemed Capitoline Museum in Rome, showcases Alexander in his full regalia, clad in intricately designed armor, a cloak draped over his shoulders, and a helmet adorned with the distinctive Gorgon's head. The engraving, produced by the skilled hands of Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabili, masterfully captures the grandeur and power of one of the most influential figures in classical civilization. Alexander the Great, born in 356 BC in Pella, Macedonia, rose to power at a young age and went on to conquer a vast empire that stretched from Greece to Egypt and India. His military campaigns revolutionized warfare and spread Greek culture far and wide. This statue, a testament to his legendary status, stands as a symbol of his military prowess, strategic brilliance, and cultural influence. The Capitoline Museum, one of the oldest public museums in the world, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions, and other artifacts. The museum's rich history and impressive collection make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient Rome and its civilization. This copperplate engraving, a beautiful representation of Alexander the Great, serves as a reminder of the museum's vast historical significance and the enduring allure of the ancient world.
