EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the iconic moment when Aristotle, one of the greatest philosophers in history, imparts his wisdom to a young Alexander the Great. Commissioned by Philip II, King of Macedon and father of Alexander, this meeting between teacher and student would shape the destiny of an empire. In this 19th-century wood engraving turned artwork by Ken Welsh, we witness a scene that resonates with historical significance. The image showcases Aristotle seated on a majestic chair while pointing towards something unseen. His posture exudes authority and knowledge as he guides his pupil through intellectual exploration. Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great, sits attentively at Aristotle's side. Eager to absorb every word from his esteemed tutor, he embodies youthful curiosity and ambition. This encounter marked the beginning of a lifelong bond between two extraordinary minds. The black-and-white composition adds depth and timelessness to this historic tableau. It transports us back to ancient Greece during the 4th century BC when philosophy flourished alongside great civilizations. Ken Welsh's artistic interpretation captures not only an educational exchange but also highlights cultural values passed down through generations. This visual masterpiece serves as a reminder that education is paramount in shaping leaders who leave an indelible mark on history.
