De Griekse Republiek before 1574

"De Griekse Republiek" is a 16th-century engraving by Wierix, depicting a scene from the life of Alexander the Great. The image features a central figure, likely Alexander, clad in armor, holding a spear and a standard. He stands over fallen figures, symbolizing his military victories. In the background, a scene of battle unfolds, while a winged creature, potentially the mythical Chimera, lurks in the foreground. The composition is dynamic, highlighting Alexander's strength and power through a combination of detailed figures and dramatic gestures. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a visual testament to the legacy of Alexander the Great.
