The Wedding of Alexander and RoxaneIl Sodoma

121
In this fresco (1516–1519), Il Sodoma depicts the marriage of Alexander the Great and Roxane, based on Lucian’s account of Aetion’s lost painting. Alexander crowns Roxane, while Eros figures playfully surround the bride, symbolizing love and union. The scene reflects Renaissance fascination with classical history and political alliances.
