EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print titled "Alexander cutting the Gordian Knot" by Jean-Simon Berthelemy (1743-1811), a renowned French history painter, depicts a legendary moment in ancient history. The scene takes us back to 333 BC in Gordium, Phrygia, where Alexander the Great faced an intricate knot that no one could unravel. In this artwork, we witness Alexander's frustration and determination as he holds his sword poised above the complex knot. Unable to find a conventional solution, he decides to take bold action. With one swift stroke of his sword, he slices through the entangled puzzle - an act known as the Alexandrian solution. Berthelemy masterfully captures this pivotal moment with vivid brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. The rich colors and textures bring life to every element of the painting – from Alexander's intense expression to the intricacies of the Gordian Knot itself. Through this artwork, Berthelemy invites us into a historical narrative filled with symbolism and intrigue. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. This piece not only showcases Berthelemy's artistic prowess but also pays homage to one of history's most iconic figures – Alexander the Great – whose audacity continues to inspire generations
