"The Battle of the Granicus in May 334 BC" is a historical painting by the 18th-century Venetian artist Francesco Fontebasso. The artwork depicts the first major battle of Alexander the Great's campaign in Asia Minor against the Persian Empire, which took place near the Granicus River in present-day Turkey. Fontebasso, known for his elaborate and dynamic compositions, captures the intensity and drama of the battle, emphasizing the heroism of Alexander and the valor of his Macedonian troops.

The painting is a prime example of the Rococo style, characterized by its vivid colors, fluid brushwork, and theatrical expressiveness. Fontebasso's use of light and shadow, along with the intricate details of the soldiers' armor and the horses in mid-struggle, brings a sense of movement and realism to the scene. This work not only serves as an artistic interpretation of a significant historical event but also reflects the 18th-century European fascination with classical antiquity and the legendary figures of the ancient world.

Francesco Fontebasso (1707–1769) was an accomplished painter of the Venetian school, who studied under Sebastiano Ricci and later Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. His works include religious and mythological subjects, as well as historical scenes like "The Battle of the Granicus in May 334 BC." The painting is an important part of Fontebasso's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey grand narratives and his mastery of the Rococo aesthetic. It remains an important cultural artifact that offers insight into both the historical period it represents and the era in which it was created.
