"Alessandro e Timoclea" is a notable painting by Lucio Massari (1569–1633), an Italian painter of the Baroque period who was active mainly in Bologna. The artwork is a visual representation of an episode from the life of Alexander the Great, specifically the encounter between the Macedonian conqueror and Timoclea, a noblewoman of Thebes. The story, often recounted in historical and literary sources, tells of Alexander's invasion of Thebes where Timoclea was captured. After being mistreated by one of Alexander's soldiers, she was brought before the conqueror. When Alexander inquired about her background, she revealed her brother had died defending Thebes against Philip II, Alexander's father. Impressed by her courage and nobility, Alexander ordered her release.

Massari's depiction of this dramatic encounter is characterized by the rich emotional expression and dynamic composition typical of the Baroque era. The painting captures the moment of interaction between the two protagonists, with Timoclea portrayed as a figure of virtue and resilience, while Alexander embodies the magnanimous ruler. The use of light, color, and the careful arrangement of figures within the space reflect Massari's skill in conveying narrative and psychological depth.

The work is significant for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural and historical themes that were popular among Baroque artists and their patrons. "Alessandro e Timoclea" not only demonstrates Massari's mastery of painting but also serves as a visual document of the era's interest in classical antiquity and the moral lessons drawn from its stories. The painting is an important piece within Massari's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the broader cultural and artistic trends of the early 17th century in Italy.
