- History
Andrew Stewart demonstrates that these portraits―wildly divergent in character, quality, type, provenance, date, and purpose―actually transmit not so much a likeness of Alexander as a set of carefully crafted clichés that mobilize the notion "Alexander" for diverse ends and diverse audiences. Stewart discusses the portraits as studies in power and his original interpretation of them gives unprecedented fullness and shape to the idea and image called "Alexander."
