The Battle of Issus and the Family of Darius before Alexander - a cassone front
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases an exquisite artwork by Giovanni di Ser Giovanni, also known as Scheggia. This tempera and gold leaf on panel masterpiece measures 46.5x154 cm and belongs to a private collection. The painting depicts the historic Battle of Issus, which took place in the 3rd century BC between Alexander the Great's army and King Darius III's forces. In this scene, we witness a large group of people engaged in intense conflict along the Anatolian coastline. The composition captures the negative concept of war with its depiction of armed forces, military units, and fighting men. Amidst this chaotic battle scene stands Alexander himself, mounted on his horse with majesty befitting his status as monarch. His presence commands attention as he leads his troops against their enemies. Meanwhile, Darius' family watches from afar in anguish and despair. Giovanni di Ser Giovanni's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, particularly in his use of gold leaf to enhance certain elements within the composition. The artist skillfully portrays not only human figures but also hooved mammals such as horses that play crucial roles in warfare. This remarkable artwork transports us back to a time when conflicts were fought on land and sea alike. It serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of Italian masters like Scheggia and the historical significance of battles that shaped our world centuries ago.
