Apelles

An original book devoted the extraordinary mosaic The Battle of Alexander, rich of close-up details and with the sensational new attribution to the gratest painter of antiquity: Apelles.
The mosaic is world-renown for depicting Alexander’s features and it has been proven that it reproduces a “tablet”.
A photographic campaign expressly conducted for this volume presents new evidence of the work’s most important details, facilitating the presentation of the hypothesis (justified by literary or archaeological tradition and by the constant discovery of original paintings in Macedonia) of its attribution to Apelles, with new evidence being presented here that highlights his revolutionary significance.
