Abstract (en)

Summarizes a lecture delivered 5 Oct 1993, which posits that Dürer's engraving of the Small Horse (1505) might well be a portrayal of Alexander the Great and the legendary horse Bucephalos. Cites the cultural context that would have provided Dürer with access to Alexander imagery, concluding that the print's architectural setting refers to the tomb that Alexander erected for the horse.
