"The Battle of Alexander at Issus" is a renowned Renaissance painting by the German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, completed in 1529. This masterpiece is part of a series of eight historical and biblical landscapes commissioned by Duke William IV of Bavaria. The painting, which measures 158.4 cm × 120.3 cm (62.4 in × 47.4 in), is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany.

Altdorfer's work is celebrated for its intricate detail and vast landscape, which sets the scene for the historic confrontation between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC. The painting is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance's preoccupation with landscape, and it is distinguished by its dramatic use of color and light, as well as its panoramic scope.

In "The Battle of Alexander at Issus," Altdorfer has gone beyond mere historical representation to create a work that is both a microcosm of the world and a commentary on the nature of power and conflict. The artist's use of a high viewpoint and the inclusion of both the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile River are indicative of the world-encompassing nature of the battle depicted. The painting is also notable for its attention to detail, not only in the depiction of the armies and their formations but also in the natural world that surrounds them, which includes a variety of flora and fauna, as well as celestial phenomena.

Altdorfer's painting is considered a pioneering work in the genre of landscape painting and is an important cultural artifact that reflects the political and artistic ambitions of its time. It remains an influential piece in the study of Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of one of history's most legendary battles.
