Product information "Portrait head of Alexander the Great"
He preferred an intense life to a long one. In just a few years, the titanic youth transformed the whole of antiquity and carried Greek civilisation as far as the Nile and Indus. But although he considered himself a god, he was unable to realise his grandiose political vision, the fusion of Orient and Occident - Leochares, along with Praxiteles the most important sculptor of the late classical period, immortalised his essence: his beauty and genius, his cruelty and his goodness. Original: Acropolis Museum, Athens. Leochares, 335 BC, marble. Polymer ars mundi museum replica moulded by hand, height with base 49 cm.
