"The Battle of Alexander at Issus" is a renowned Renaissance painting by the German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, completed in 1529. This masterpiece is celebrated for its intricate detail, vivid portrayal of the legendary battle, and its significant scale, marking it as one of the most ambitious landscape paintings of its time. Altdorfer's work is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance's deep interest in landscape, and it stands out for its dramatic depiction of the historical event where Alexander the Great secured a decisive victory against the Persian king Darius III in 333 BC.

Altdorfer's painting is distinguished by its panoramic view, which not only captures the ferocity and chaos of the battle but also the vast and diverse landscape that stretches from the Mediterranean Sea in the background to the craggy mountains in the foreground. This attention to landscape detail is a hallmark of Altdorfer's style and serves to contextualize the historical event within the broader scope of the natural world and divine creation. The artist's use of vibrant colors and light effects enhances the dramatic impact of the scene, drawing viewers into the tumultuous heart of the battle.

The work is also notable for its historical and cultural significance during the Renaissance period, reflecting the era's fascination with classical antiquity and its heroes. Altdorfer's depiction of Alexander the Great not only commemorates the legendary figure's military genius but also aligns with the period's reverence for the lessons of history and the virtues of leadership and bravery.

Housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, "The Battle of Alexander at Issus" remains a pivotal piece in the study of Renaissance art, offering insights into the period's artistic techniques, historical interests, and the evolving role of landscape in painting. Through this work, Altdorfer has contributed significantly to the Western art canon, influencing subsequent generations of artists and continuing to captivate audiences with its beauty and complexity.
