Hartlib's Alexander: Alexander Seated on Throne is a 1404 by Unknown, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A man in a bright red robe sits on a stone balcony, holding a scroll in one hand. Behind him, a simple building with a tiled roof and a small boat float in a distant harbor. A lion lies curled on the ground near his feet, and a strange, half-human face peeks from the shadows below. The red robe looks stiff and patterned, like armor folded into fabric. The colors are flat—no deep shadows or soft blends—just bold outlines and bright patches. This style comes from the Renaissance.
