It was in such a situation of direct observation by night that Testa evidently drowned, allegedly by suicide, in 1650. This dramatic depiction of Alexander the Great suffering from a sudden chill while bathing in the river Cydnus is considered one of his final paintings, and it eerily echoes his biography.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437784\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Alexander the Great Rescued from the River Cydnus\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pietro Testa","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49888102056179,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (38\" x 54\")","offer_id":49888102088947,"sku":null,"price":3181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15\" x 21 3\/8\")","offer_id":49888102121715,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 3\/8\" x 26 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888102154483,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 1\/2\" x 32 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888102187251,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (29\" x 41 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888102220019,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (34 7\/8\" x 49 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888102252787,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (41 1\/8\" x 58 1\/2\")","offer_id":49888102285555,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (49 3\/8\" x 70 3\/8\")","offer_id":49888102318323,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AlexandertheGreatRescuedfromtheRiverCydnus.jpg?v=1783710237","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/alexander-the-great-rescued-from-the-river-cydnus","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
