EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the frieze by Thorwaldsen, preserved in the Quirinal Palace, Rome. The scene depicted is none other than Alexander the Great's retinue entering Babylon, showcasing the grandeur and power of this legendary conqueror. The composition transports us back to ancient times as we witness this historical moment frozen in time. Alexander's retinue can be seen marching triumphantly into Babylon, their horses exuding strength and elegance. Each figure is meticulously carved with intricate details that bring them to life; from their armor-clad bodies to their determined expressions, every element tells a story of bravery and conquest. The artist, Bertel Thorwaldsen, masterfully captures the essence of neoclassicism in this low relief bas-relief artwork. His attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship are evident as he recreates an era long gone but forever etched in history. As our gaze lingers on this remarkable print from 1926 ca. , we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by Alexander the Great. This image serves as a testament to his military prowess and strategic brilliance that shaped empires during the first and second millennium A. D. Anderson's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of this masterpiece – from the texture of each mantle cloak draped over shoulders to even capturing minute details like accessories worn by these ancient soldiers. In summary, this print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in history – when Alexander's retinue entered Babylon – immortalized through artistry that has stood strong for centuries within Rome's Quirinal Palace.
