Albrecht Altdorfer- The Battle of Alexander at Issus

The Battle of Alexander at Issus is a 1529 oil painting by German artist Albrecht Altdorfer ca. 1480–1538. This artwork depicts the battle between Alexander the Great and the Persian Empire where the victory was on Alexander the Great’s side. I like this painting because it illustrates enormous landscape with vivid colors and distinctive details such as the present of the moon and the sun on the sky at the same time.
