An unexpected admirer of Alexander the Great

Who would have thought that Andy Warhol was an admirer of Alexander the Great?

 
 
I just learned that a colorful screenprint of Alexander has been donated to the Baltimore Museum of Art by Sylvia de Cuevas, in memory of her uncle, Alexandre Iolas. This namesake of the Macedonian King was himself a prominent art dealer who ordered a series of Alexander the Great from Andy Warhold.
