Date: 17th century
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer, Barcelona, Spain
Stateira (wife of Darius III)
Stateira (370 BC – early 332 BC) was a queen of Persia as the wife of Darius III of Persia of the Achaemenid dynasty.
She accompanied her husband while he went to war. It was because of this that she was captured by Alexander the Great after the Battle of Issus, in 333 BC, at the town of Issus. Her husband abandoned his entire family at the site as he fled from Alexander, including his mother Sisygambis and his daughters Stateira II and Drypetis. Alexander is reported to have treated them with great respect.
Alexander : How’re you feeling?
Hephaestion : Not good. I have this headache that comes and goes.
Stateira, walks into the room : ...
Hephaestion : There it is.

Alexander the Great and Deceased Wife of Darius
Artist: Giambettino Cignaroli (Italian, 1706−1770)
Date: 1760-170
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Gallery of Slovenia, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Description
After the Battle of Issus, Alexander captured the Persian camp. King Darius managed to escape, but his mother, wife and two daughters were taken prisoner. The mercy and generosity Alexander showed towards the members of the Persian royal household are legendary. When Darius’s wife Stateira died in childbirth in the military camp, this greatly affected Alexander, since, as Plutarch says, the young victor was no longer able to show her his kindness. He gave orders that the queen should be buried with all honours.
In Cignaroli’s depiction, Alexander is shown in the moment of entering the tent, a military escort behind him. The manneristically slender figure of the gentle-faced youth in military attire, a plumed helmet on his head, illustrates Alexander’s legendary mercy, which he also expresses by raising his right hand in greeting as he enters the tent. The body of the dead queen lies on the ground before him, dressed in a white gown. The blue drapery covering her belly hints at the tragic outcome of her pregnancy. The dead woman’s daughters grieve over her body. The weeping girl leaning over the table is probably a servant. The precious vessels and crown placed on the table may also be associated with the dead queen.
