EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th-century painting by Jose del Castillo, titled "Battle of Arbelas or Battle of Gaugamela," depicts a pivotal moment in ancient history: the combat between Alexander the Great of Macedonia and the Persian King Darius III in 331 BC. The painting, which is housed at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, Spain, transports us back to the 4th century BC and the height of the Hellenic League's power. Alexander, dressed in his royal cloak and wearing a helmet, is shown on horseback, leading his troops into battle against Darius III's vast Persian army. The Persian king, also on horseback, is shown wearing a richly decorated cloak and holding a shield. The battlefield is filled with the chaos of combat, with soldiers clashing shields and horses rearing up in fear and aggression. The scene is a testament to the strength and determination of the Macedonian army, which ultimately emerged victorious in this decisive battle. The Persian Empire, which had once been a major world power, was dealt a crushing blow, paving the way for Alexander's conquest of the known world. Del Castillo masterfully captures the intensity and energy of the battle, with birds flying overhead and soldiers and horses in various stages of attack and defense. The painting is a stunning example of European art from the modern age, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Spanish painter.
