EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the legendary Alexander the Great in pursuit of an eagle, symbolizing his ambition and determination to conquer new territories. The image depicts the powerful king on horseback, with his eyes fixed on the majestic bird soaring above him.
Alexander's fascination with eagles is well-documented in history, as he believed they were messengers of the gods and a sign of good fortune. In this scene, he appears mesmerized by the graceful flight of the eagle, perhaps seeing it as a sign of his own destiny to rule over vast lands.
The artist, Hugh Chesterman, skillfully portrays Alexander's regal presence and unwavering focus in this black and white lithograph. The attention to detail in both Alexander's attire and the eagle's feathers adds depth and realism to the composition.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to ancient Greece, where one man's quest for power shaped the course of history. It serves as a reminder of Alexander's legacy as one of history's greatest military leaders and conquerors.
Overall, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Alexander the Great following an eagle - a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
