EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 11: Alexanders Lion Hunt, from The Deeds of Alexander the Great, 1608" takes us back to the ancient world of Alexander III of Macedon, better known as Alexander the Great. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta in the 17th century, this etching is a testament to his exceptional skill and attention to detail. The scene depicted showcases a thrilling lion hunt led by King Alexander himself. With bow and arrow in hand, he fearlessly confronts these majestic creatures alongside his loyal companions on horseback. The intensity of the moment is palpable as man and beast engage in a battle for survival. Tempesta's mastery lies not only in capturing the action but also in conveying emotions through his intricate lines. Every stroke brings life to each character - from the determined expression on Alexander's face to the raw power exuded by both man and animal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to witness an iconic event that shaped history. It serves as a reminder of Alexander's military prowess and unwavering determination that earned him legendary status throughout Greece and beyond. This print stands as a testament to Tempesta's artistic brilliance while preserving an important chapter from our past. Its presence within The Met allows us all to appreciate the rich heritage left behind by great leaders like Alexander the Great.
