About the Poster:

This striking and historically significant exhibition poster was issued for one of Thessaloniki’s major cultural events during its designation as European Cultural Capital (1997).

The exhibition, Alexander the Great in European Art, explored how the legendary Macedonian conqueror was represented across centuries of European visual culture — from Renaissance interpretations to modern depictions.

Printed in Greece and distributed exclusively during the 1997–1998 event, this poster is now rarely found outside institutional archives, making it a desirable collectible for art historians, Hellenic culture enthusiasts, and lovers of vintage exhibition posters.

Known for its exhibitions of major Greek and international artists, it has been a cornerstone of Northern Greece’s cultural life since its founding.
