EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense and dramatic scene of "Alexander Fights with a Lion and Kills Clitus". Created by an anonymous Flemish artist during the 3rd quarter of the 15th century, this masterpiece reflects the artistic brilliance of that era. The artwork is believed to have originated in Lille, France. The composition depicts Alexander the Great engaged in a fierce battle with a mighty lion, symbolizing his courage and strength. With every stroke of tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment, the artist brings this epic encounter to life. The intricate details capture Alexander's determination as he triumphantly overpowers both man and beast. The Master of Jardin de vertueuse consolation skillfully portrays every emotion through his brushstrokes. This particular scene represents one chapter from Alexander's legendary conquests - his victory over Clitus - which adds historical significance to this remarkable piece. Measuring at 43.2 x 33 cm (17 x 13 in. ), this print allows us to appreciate the artistry up close while preserving its original grandeur. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of European art during that period. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work, we are transported back in time to witness Alexander's bravery firsthand. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with heroism and our eternal quest for greatness.
