EDITORS COMMENTS
The Entrance of Alexander the Great into Babylon captures the grandeur and power of one of history's most legendary figures. Painted by Gasparo Diziani, this oil on canvas print depicts the momentous arrival of Alexander the Great in 331 BC, as he conquered and occupied the Persian city. In this scene, we witness Alexander's triumphant entry into Babylon, accompanied by his loyal servants and soldiers. The Macedonian king is portrayed atop a majestic horse, adorned with a magnificent helmet that symbolizes his authority and leadership. As he rides through the streets, his presence creates a frenzy among the crowd who marvel at his conquests. The painting also highlights an interesting historical fact - it was in Babylon that Alexander met his untimely demise during his return journey. This adds an element of poignancy to the artwork, reminding us of both his triumphs and tragic end. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, Diziani's masterpiece transports us back in time to witness this significant event firsthand. The print now resides in Musee des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts from around the world. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Alexander's legacy as a ruler and commander while offering us a glimpse into ancient history.
