"Alexander Cutting The Gordian Knot" is a notable 18th-century oil painting by Italian artist Fedele Fischetti. The work depicts the legendary episode from the life of Alexander the Great, in which the Macedonian conqueror is said to have undone the Gordian Knot—a seemingly impossible task—by slicing through it with his sword. This act symbolized Alexander's bold and unconventional approach to problem-solving and has been interpreted as an omen of his future success in conquering Asia.

Fischetti, who was active during the Rococo period in Naples, is known for his frescoes and oil paintings that often featured mythological and historical subjects. In this painting, he captures the dramatic moment with a dynamic composition, rich color palette, and meticulous attention to detail, characteristics that are emblematic of his artistic style. The painting not only illustrates the physical action of Alexander severing the knot but also conveys the tension and anticipation of the surrounding figures who witness this defining moment.

The artwork serves as a cultural artifact that reflects the Enlightenment's interest in classical antiquity and the valorization of heroic action. It also provides insight into the Neapolitan art scene of the time, which was influenced by the presence of prominent artists and the patronage of the Bourbon court. "Alexander Cutting The Gordian Knot" remains an important work for the study of Fedele Fischetti's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century Italian painting.
