The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution by Víctor Mínguez PDF Summary

Book Description: "This is an analysis of the diverse facets of Alexander the Great's image from the Renaissance era through the Baroque into the nineteenth century. Perceived as the first sovereign ruler of the world, for centuries Alexander became an exemplar for the most ambitious kings and emperors. This cultural phenomenon flourished above all in the Renaissance while extending into the nineteenth century. Early modern monarchs' identification with Alexander associated them with ideas of kingly wisdom. Yet this admiration waned on occasions. Napoleon was Alexander of Macedonia's most ardent critic.
