EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing medieval miniature from the 13th century manuscript "Histoire ancienne A la Cesar". In this intricate artwork, we see Alexander III The Great, the renowned ancient king, seated on the wheel of Fortune. Surrounding him are powerful symbols representing the Tetramorph - a combination of four creatures: a bull, an eagle, a lion, and Saint Matthew as an angel. The artist's skillful use of illumination brings to life this religious scene with stunning detail. Each animal is meticulously depicted in vibrant colors and rich textures, symbolizing different aspects of strength and divinity. The presence of these biblical figures adds depth to the composition and highlights Alexander's connection to both earthly power and spiritual significance. As we gaze upon this rare piece of history preserved in Dijon Municipal Library's collection, we are transported back in time to an era where art served as a medium for storytelling and worship. This masterpiece serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Alexander III The Great and his impact on both ancient civilization and medieval culture. Through its delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, this photograph captures not only the beauty but also the profound symbolism embedded within this remarkable work of art. It invites us to reflect on our own place within the ever-turning wheel of fortune while marveling at humanity's eternal quest for meaning.
