Arno Breker Art

Finished! A pencil drawing of Arno Breker’s Portrait of Alexander the Great. The French writer and Alexander-biographer Roger Peyrefitte asked his friend Breker to make this portrait as a Homage to the young Alexander. Created in 1981 in marble, height 37cm. Alexander III of Macedon (Greek: Αλέξανδρος Γʹ ὁ Μακεδών; 20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Ancient Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας) was a king (basileus) of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty. He was born in Pella in 356 BC and succeeded his father Philip II to the throne at the age of 20. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. UNDEFEATED in battle and is widely considered one of history’s most successful military commanders.
