EDITORS COMMENTS
Darius III, the last Achaemenian King of Persia, marches his army towards the Battle of Issus in 333 BC, as depicted in this stunning 15th century Italian painting from the Workshop of Apollonio di Giovanni. The scene captures the moment of departure, with Darius atop his golden chariot, surrounded by his armed forces and loyal companions. The richly colored image, filled with intricate details, showcases the grandeur of the Persian Empire, with its magnificent horses and armor-clad soldiers. The backdrop of Anatolia's rugged terrain adds to the sense of scale and drama. Darius's gaze is fixed on the horizon, where Alexander III of Macedonia and his forces are waiting. This masterpiece, created in the Low Countries during the 1450-1455 period, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Italian Renaissance and the enduring legacy of ancient history.
