EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print, titled "Alexander the Great and Bucephalus," is a masterpiece by the renowned Italian artist Taddeo Zuccaro. Created around 1553, this artwork showcases the legendary King of Macedonia, Alexander III, and his faithful horse, Bucephalus. The scene is rendered in pen and brown ink with brown wash over traces of graphite on laid paper. Alexander III, also known as Alexander the Great, is depicted as a powerful and regal figure, clad in armor and holding a spear. His intense gaze is fixed on the horizon, reflecting his legendary ambition and military prowess. By his side stands Bucephalus, an equally majestic figure, with its ears pricked forward and eyes full of intelligence and loyalty. This drawing is an exceptional representation of the deep bond between the great monarch and his horse. The image is steeped in history and cultural heritage, transporting us back to the ancient world of Macedonia. The use of monochrome tones adds to the timeless quality of the artwork, making it a must-see for any art enthusiast or history buff. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to exhibit this exquisite print as part of its extensive collection. The intricate details and masterful technique showcase the artistic skill and vision of Taddeo Zuccaro, making it a standout piece in the annals of art history.
