Seleucus I Nicator, the Macedonian general and founder of the Seleucid Empire (358-281 BC), is depicted in various artworks throughout history. From the sinking of his fleet in the Plate with the Sinking of the Fleet (1532) to his crowning of Antiochus in Seleucus crowns Antiochus by Dircksz Santvoort Abraham and Abraham Wolfgang (1666), Seleucus' legacy is immortalized in art. His military prowess is illustrated in Demetrius Seleucus defends himself against shooting horsemen by Jan Luyken and Pieter Mortier (undated), while his earlier service under Alexander the Great is remembered in Nicator, Macedonian general under Alexander the Great. Even the biblical tale of Heliodorus' expulsion from the Temple of Jerusalem is connected to Seleucus through historical lore. This ancient leader's impact on history is evident in the numerous artistic representations that continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
