"Mythological Scene (Alexander and Diogenes)" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Paolo Pagani, born in Castello Valsolda in 1661. The artwork is a representation of a famous anecdote involving Alexander the Great and the philosopher Diogenes of Sinope. According to the story, Alexander found Diogenes looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained that he was searching for the bones of Alexander's father but could not distinguish them from those of a slave, highlighting the theme of human equality in death.

Paolo Pagani, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, brings this philosophical encounter to life with a dramatic flair characteristic of the Baroque period. The painting captures the moment of interaction between the two historical figures, with Alexander often depicted in regal attire, illustrating his status and power, while Diogenes is shown in a state of humble simplicity, consistent with his Cynic philosophy.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to the late 17th or early 18th century, a period during which Pagani was active and produced numerous works of religious and mythological subject matter. "Mythological Scene (Alexander and Diogenes)" is considered an important work in Pagani's oeuvre, exemplifying his skillful handling of historical and allegorical themes.

The painting's current location and ownership are not specified in readily available sources, and further details about its provenance and critical reception over time are limited. Nonetheless, "Mythological Scene (Alexander and Diogenes)" remains a significant example of Pagani's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of Baroque art's engagement with classical antiquity and philosophical discourse.
