EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "The Death of Alexander the Great: A Glimpse into the Fall of World Empires in Classical Antiquity". This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the deathbed scene of one of history's greatest conquerors, Alexander the Great. Surrounded by his loyal soldiers mourning his passing, this image captures both the grandeur and vulnerability of a man whose legacy would shape empires for centuries to come. Based on a lost bas-relief by Gerard de Lairesse, this exquisite print is part of a four-part series titled 'Fatum Graecorum' (The Fate of Greeks). Created by Johannes Glauber between 1684 and 1726 using paper and etching techniques, it stands as an artistic testament to classical antiquity's profound impact on world civilizations. In this particular installment, we witness Alexander on his deathbed - a poignant reminder that even mighty rulers are mortal. The composition skillfully portrays not only the physical decline but also evokes emotions through subtle details such as grieving soldiers surrounding their fallen leader. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that great empires rise and fall throughout time. It serves as both a historical record and an exploration into humanity's eternal struggle for power and its inevitable consequences.
