EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 18th century, depicting Alexander the Great engaged in a fierce battle against the Persians. The plaque d azulejos, a type of ceramic tile artwork, is located in Lisbon's National Museum of Azulejos and was created by the Portuguese School during that period. The image captures Alexander's heroic presence as he leads his troops into combat on horseback. His helmet gleams under the sunlight while his trumpet blares triumphantly, inspiring his soldiers to fight with unwavering determination. The scene unfolds along the coastline, where boats can be seen approaching to support their fearless leader. The attention to detail in this antique masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. Each tile meticulously portrays not only Alexander but also various elements of warfare such as horses charging forward and wounded soldiers bravely fighting alongside their commander. This artistic representation transports viewers back to ancient Greece and immerses them in one of history's most significant military campaigns. As an emblematic symbol of Portuguese culture and heritage, this stunning work exemplifies both artistic excellence and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Portugal's rich tradition of producing exquisite ceramics while commemorating one of history's greatest conquerors. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail preserved within this timeless artwork for generations to come.
