EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Alexander the Great, one of history's greatest conquerors, mounted on his beloved horse Bucephalus. The wood engraving, created in 19th century Germany, beautifully captures the essence of this ancient royal rider and his powerful steed. In this image, we witness Alexander the Great in all his glory as he sits atop Bucephalus with an air of confidence and determination. His lance held firmly in hand symbolizes both his prowess as a warrior and his strategic brilliance on the battlefield. As emperor of Macedon, he led countless men into battle during ancient times. Bucephalus was not just any horse to Alexander; it was his favorite companion throughout many victorious campaigns. This loyal equine partner played a significant role in their conquests across the vast lands of Asia Minor and beyond. The engraving transports us back to an era when warfare was conducted primarily from horseback—a time when emperors like Alexander ruled with unparalleled might and ambition. It serves as a reminder of how influential individuals can shape history through their leadership and military prowess. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and the historical significance it represents. It is a testament to human achievement that continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
