Alejandro Magno (VIII). El Egipto cultural que heredaron Alejandro y los Ptolomeos. Jorge Latorre

Today's session is part of a series on the fascinating figure of Alexander the Great, and specifically on the extraordinary influence that his personality, style of governance, and interactions with the societies of the conquered kingdoms in Asia and Egypt had on art, giving rise to what we know as Hellenism, which includes such exceptional works as the Pergamon Altar, the Laocoön, the Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. This session focuses on the extraordinary artistic creations that Alexander and his men encountered throughout the vast Syrian, Mesopotamian, and Persian world—a fascinating reality brought to life by Jorge Latorre, a brilliant professor of Art History at Rey Juan Carlos University and an excellent popularizer of the subject.
