The Macedonians crossing the Jaxartes - A Glimpse into Ancient Warfare
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "The Macedonians crossing the Jaxartes" offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print depicts the Battle of Jaxartes that took place in 329 BC. In this scene, we witness Alexander the Great's army bravely navigating across the treacherous waters of the Syr Darya River (also known as Jaxartes). The soldiers are seen boarding boats while their horses swim alongside them. The tension is palpable as they prepare to face off against fierce Scythian warriors on the opposite bank. The meticulous detail and precision of this engraving transport us back to ancient times, allowing us to marvel at both human and animal bravery on display. The powerful presence of horses adds an extra layer of intensity to this battlefield tableau. This print originates from Cassell's Illustrated Universal History and belongs to a private collection called The Stapleton Collection. Its inclusion here provides art enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into our past, offering insights into significant events that have shaped civilizations throughout time.
