EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edgar Degas' masterpiece, "Alexander and Bucephalus" painted in 1861-2. The oil on canvas painting measures 115x89 cm and is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The artwork depicts a significant moment from history when Philonicus the Thessalian, a horse dealer, presented Bucephalus to King Philip II for an exorbitant price. However, the king showed no interest in taming this wild Macedonian stallion. It was then that his son Alexander stepped forward with an audacious offer - he would pay for the horse himself if he failed to tame it. Degas skillfully captures this pivotal scene with his signature impressionistic style. The brushstrokes evoke movement and energy as Alexander fearlessly attempts to establish control over the majestic creature before him. Through this painting, Degas not only pays homage to Alexander the Great but also explores themes of bravery, determination, and the bond between man and animal. His use of color and light creates a sense of drama while highlighting the strength and beauty of both Alexander and Bucephalus. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back in time to witness a legendary tale unfold before our eyes - a testament to Degas' mastery as one of France's greatest impressionist painters.
