The "Rondanini Alexander" depicts the renowned ancient Macedonian king, Alexander the Great, and is believed to be one of Michelangelo's last works. It is different from the Rondanini Pietà, which portrays the Virgin Mary and Jesus. The statue portrays Alexander the Great, one of history's most celebrated military commanders and conquerors, who lived from 356 BC to 323 BC. The sculpture depicts Alexander as a heroic, powerful figure, standing in a contrapposto pose, a common stance in classical art where the weight is shifted to one leg, creating a naturalistic and lifelike appearance. The "Rondanini Alexander" is known for its unfinished state, which adds to its allure. Michelangelo began sculpting the statue in the early 1520s, near the end of his life, but he left it incomplete when he passed away in 1564. Scholars have debated the subject of the sculpture, and not everyone agrees that it represents Alexander the Great. Some have suggested it could depict a different figure from classical mythology or history, but the prevailing belief is that it indeed represents the Macedonian king.
