This drawing, “Alexander the Great with Many People Standing by Two Altars,” is a work by Polidoro da Caravaggio, an Italian painter and draughtsman known for his Roman Mannerist style. The detailed, highly-realistic composition is dominated by the imposing figure of Alexander the Great, depicted in a military garb, with a group of figures surrounding him. The work, created in black chalk, is notable for its dynamic use of light and shadow, suggesting the influence of Caravaggio.
