EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful moment in history through the study for "Alexander the Great and Porus" by Charles Le Brun. In this image, we see a half-naked man being supported by three others, showcasing their strength and determination. The intense gaze of the central figure draws us into his story, while his helmet symbolizes his status as a soldier. The scene depicted here is none other than the defeat of Porus at the Battle of Hydaspes in 326 BC. This historical event marked Alexander's conquest of Punjab, with Porus representing the King of Paurava. Through Le Brun's skillful use of pierre noire and white chalk highlights on beige paper, every detail comes to life. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon in 1898-99, this print from the Louvre's Cabinet de dessins collection showcases not only an exquisite artwork but also serves as a testament to human resilience and triumph over adversity. The ruler's vulnerability is juxtaposed with the unwavering support he receives from his comrades. As we delve into this mesmerizing drawing, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and space. It allows us to witness significant moments like these firsthand, evoking emotions and sparking our curiosity about ancient civilizations' triumphs and struggles.
