Alexander the Great and the Gymnosophists, Leonaert Bramer, c. 1655 - c. 1665 Alexander the Great is in the middle of what a piece of leather should represent, on the instruction of the gymnosophist (possibly Calanus) on the left. Alexanders must propose the piece of leather rich. When Alexander is on one of the corners of the leather, the other corners come up, but when Alexander is in the middle, the piece of leather is flat. The gymnosophist tries to make it clear to Alexander that he must stay in the center of his empire. Other gymnosophists and Alexander's soldiers can be seen in the back
