Collector's Choice

As June marks the traditional anniversary of the death of Alexander the Great on 10/11 June 323 BC, this Collector’s Choice highlights a hand-signed engraving by the Greek-Austrian artist Makis Warlamis. This impressive Artist’s Proof (EA) presents Alexander in a bold and expressive contemporary style. While collectors often encounter his image through ancient coins, medals, books, and historical prints, this work offers a modern artistic interpretation of one of history’s most enduring figures. What makes this engraving particularly compelling is not only its artistic execution but also the broader idea it evokes. Beyond his historical role as a conqueror, Alexander the Great has often been associated with the vision of a more interconnected world—one in which different peoples, cultures, and traditions could come into contact and coexist. In this sense, his legacy is frequently interpreted as an early symbol of cultural exchange and the expansion of horizons between East and West. For collectors, such works go beyond visual appeal. They embody ideas and narratives that continue to resonate across centuries. More than 2,300 years after his death, Alexander the Great remains a figure through which themes of cultural connection, diversity, and shared human experience are continually reinterpreted. The Osyllektis Collection also includes additional items related to Alexander the Great, reflecting the ongoing interest in his life and legacy.
