As the King of Macedonia, and the son of Philip II, Alexander the Great entered Asia Minor in 334 BC. Within a short time, he defeated the Persian king, conquered the Persian Empire, and mastered the known world from Macedonia in the north to Egypt in the south, and from the Aegean to Afghanistan. In art, Alexander the Great favored the style of Greek art and chose it as the defining statement of his empire’s expanding borders. His legacy was referred back to by successive Roman rulers--beginning with Julius Caesar and Augustus--by having their own portraits modeled after his characteristic features: wide forehead, well defined features, and wavy hair at the front. Our reproduction is taken from the original (c. 300 BC) in the Pella Museum, Macedonia. It looks like carved marble with a weathered, aged finish. Handmade in a US studio from bonded light gray marble, antique rust finish, gray bonded marble base, 15"H x 6.5"W x 7"D including the base. (Base is 4.5"W x 4.5"D x 5"H; Head is 8"H x 6.5"W x 7"D).
