More about this artwork

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's painting, "Alexander at the Tomb of Cyrus," masterfully captures a moment from the legendary encounter of Alexander the Great with the tomb of the ancient Persian king, Cyrus the Great. Created between 1645 and 1650, this work is a vibrant depiction of respect and reflection across civilizations and eras.In the painting, Alexander stands prominently in the foreground, his figure draped in ornate armor and a flowing cape, radiating the stature and gravitas of a great leader. His gaze directed toward the skeletal remains of Cyrus, which are reverently placed within an elaborate sarcophagus. This encounter not only underscores Alexander's respect for Cyrus as a fellow conqueror but also serves as a poignant memento mori, a reminder of mortality's universality.The composition is dynamic, with varied textures and rich, expressive brushstrokes that lend a sense of immediacy and movement. Castiglione’s skillful use of lighting accentuates the emotional intensity of the scene, highlighting the figures' expressions and the intricate details of their garb.

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
All Artworks

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (23 March 1609 – 5 May 1664) was an Italian Baroque painter, printmaker and draftsman, of the Genoese school. He is best known now for his etchings, and as the inventor of the printmaking technique of monotyping. He was known as Il Grechetto in Italy and in France as Le Benédette.

He painted portraits, history paintings and landscapes, but came to specialize in rural scenes with more animals than human figures. Noah's ark and the animals entering the Ark was a favourite subject of his, and he devised a number of other new subjects from the early parts of the Old Testament with the patriarchs and their animals.
