About this work
An engraved print titled Diogenes et Alexandre, after Peter Paul Rubens, shows the armored Alexander standing before the reclining philosopher Diogenes, who sits in a large ceramic vessel. Soldiers and onlookers crowd behind a classical column, with rays of light breaking through the sky above. The composition is framed by a lower inscription and a small coat of arms.
