Summary
[edit]DescriptionAlexander with the Spear, Late fourth century BC, from Lower Egypt, Louvre Museum (7462994514).jpg |
This statuette echoes a portrait of Alexander the Great made around 330 BC by Lysippus, court sculptor to the king of Macedon. Alexander is depicted as a conqueror, a spear clasped firmly in his left hand, while the right one holds a sword. He is wearing a headdress, added to conform with this type of statuary: together with his heroic nudity, it probably evokes the sacred cult devoted to him after his death (323 BC), particularly in Egypt under the reign of the Ptolemies. A portrait of Alexander the Great. A replica of Alexander with the Spear. The art of Lysippus. |
