| Description:
This painting by Albrecht Altdorfer, a German painter and architect, was completed in the Middle Ages around 1500. It represents the Battle of Alexander and takes in the hordes of soldiers in the minutest detail. Though there is no slaughter depicted, the energy of the event is captured in the legions of infantry in battle array; armored horses; weapons at the ready; and the banners, pennants, streamers, and standards signifying the different military fighting units and their assigned functions in the impending campaign. On finishing this 2000-piece puzzle, you and your friends will enjoy getting out your magnifying glasses and examining every soldier, every horse, every weapon, and every encampment in this vast battle scene. |
