EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable scene from ancient times, showcasing the legendary Alexander the Great engaging in combat with extraordinary creatures. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness Alexander fearlessly confronting pigs with teeth as long as a cubit and men and women possessing six hands. The image is derived from a 13th-century miniature, beautifully reproduced by Paul Lacroix in his renowned publication "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages". The composition transports us to an otherworldly battlefield where fantastical beings clash against the backdrop of medieval warfare. Mounted on majestic horses, knights charge forward with spears poised for battle. Their determination is palpable as they face off against monstrous adversaries that defy imagination. This piece not only showcases the artistic prowess of its creator but also offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of mythology and folklore that has fascinated humanity throughout history. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with tales of heroism, bravery, and encounters with mythical creatures. As we delve into this intriguing visual narrative, let us marvel at how art can transport us to realms beyond reality's grasp while simultaneously reminding us of our shared human desire for adventure and conquest.
