Description : La famiglia di Dario davanti ad Alessandro Magno

Oil painting on canvas. The subject, widely represented in paintings, proposes an episode of clemency, considered by some to be a propaganda story in favor of the Macedonian leader. In the scene we see the mother of Darius III, Sisigambi, followed by the other women and children of the family, who, left prey to the enemies after the defeat of Issus, pays Alexander the homage of prostrating herself before him, reverencing him as the new king. The painting proposed here, restored and relined, is mounted on a new frame with screws. It is presented in a stylish frame.
