"Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) Puts on a Spectacle" is the fourth plate from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), a collection of engravings that depict various hunting scenes. This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566-1628), a Flemish artist known for his printmaking, and was published by Phillipus Gallaeus of Amsterdam. The series is based on designs by Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), an Italian artist of Flemish origin who was active during the late Renaissance period.

The engraving portrays the historical event of Alexander the Great hosting a grand spectacle, showcasing his power and the might of his empire through an elaborate display of hunting and games. This scene is part of a broader tradition in Renaissance art of depicting historical and mythological events with an emphasis on drama and detail. Stradano's original designs were celebrated for their dynamic compositions and intricate portrayal of human and animal figures, which Collaert skillfully translated into the medium of engraving.

The "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" series was a significant cultural work of its time, reflecting the fascination with exotic animals, the spectacle of the hunt, and the glorification of historical figures. The engravings served not only as works of art but also as a means of disseminating knowledge about the natural world and distant lands during an era of exploration and discovery.

Jan Collaert's engraving of Alexander the Great's spectacle is an important historical artifact, offering insight into the intersection of art, culture, and history in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It remains a subject of interest for scholars studying the Renaissance period, printmaking, and the iconography of Alexander the Great.
