EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Head of Alexander the Great, a masterpiece dating back to the first half of the 2nd century BC. Crafted from exquisite marble by an unknown Greek artist, this sculpture is currently housed in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum in Turkey. The head itself is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creator. Every detail, from Alexander's finely chiseled features to his intense gaze, captures his commanding presence and legendary charisma. It serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most influential figures. Discovered at Pergamum near Bergana, this ancient artifact offers us a glimpse into the past glory of Alexander's empire. As we admire this piece, we can't help but imagine it once adorned an opulent palace or grand temple during its heyday. Today, visitors flock to the Istanbul Archaeological Museum to witness firsthand this extraordinary relic from antiquity. Its significance extends beyond artistic appreciation; it holds immense historical value and contributes greatly to our understanding of ancient Greek culture and civilization. Ken Welsh has expertly captured this iconic artwork through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot see it in person. Through his photograph, he invites us on a visual journey through time – connecting us with both ancient history and contemporary artistry.
