ALEXANDER THE GREAT Hand-Painted on Lapis Lazuli 925 Silver Pendant

About the Item

This pendant features a hand-painted image of Alexander the Great, skillfully rendered by the artist Tommaso Rossi on Lapis Lazuli. The artwork is set in solid silver, merging historical grandeur with fine jewelry. The rich, deep blue hues of the Lapis Lazuli provide a captivating backdrop, accentuating the intricate details of Alexander's depiction, symbolizing leadership, courage, and conquest. This piece harmoniously combines ancient history with expert craftsmanship, delivering a unique and meaningful work of wearable art. Alexander the Great (356–323 BCE) was one of history’s most brilliant military leaders and king of Macedon. Tutored by the philosopher Aristotle, he inherited the throne at age 20 after the assassination of his father, King Philip II. In just over a decade, Alexander created one of the largest empires the world had ever seen, stretching from Greece to Egypt, Persia, and as far as India. His tactical genius was showcased in decisive battles like Gaugamela and Issus, where he defeated the mighty Persian Empire under Darius III. Renowned for his vision of cultural integration, Alexander founded over 20 cities, many named Alexandria, spreading Greek culture and blending it with local traditions. Despite his unprecedented success, he died suddenly in Babylon at age 32, leaving his empire divided among his generals, the Diadochi. Alexander's legacy endures as a symbol of ambition, leadership, and the fusion of cultures. Tommaso Rossi is the talented young artist who creates these exquisite miniature portraits and mythical stories. Working on both marble and hard stone discs, he depicts historical and mythical figures from ancient Greece and Rome, using paints such as enamels, titanium acrylics and graphite. In his amazingly detailed technique, Tommaso employs either an echidna quill or a rose thorn instead of a brush to define the figures on these miniature masterpieces. Born in Rome in 2000, Tommaso first attended art school on Via Ripetta and then, recognized for his superior talent, he entered the prestigious “Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia”. This is an elite art school in Rome where only a small number of the finest young artists are carefully chosen for further training in the arts of engraving and plastic modeling. For more than a century, exceptional artists have acquired additional skills through the use of ancient techniques, innovative methodologies, design and craftsmanship. Importance is also given to art history and conservation. Classical traditions are reimagined, merging Antiquity with present day culture.
