Montblanc Hommage à Alexander the Great, Patron of Art
1998, 18K Gold M Nib, 1897/4810
The Hellenistic age is brought to life by the magnificent Patron of Art Edition Hommage à Alexander the Great fountain pen. The gold-coated cap, shaped like a slender column, is richly ornamented with lotus flowers. These form a fascinating contrast to the black lacquer background with gold-colored veins that flow mysteriously through the black, finely marbled lacquer of the barrel.
The medium nib of 18k gold is delicately engraved with the head of a ram-the symbol of the god Amon, who an oracle was once declared to be Alexander the Great's father.

This pen honors Alexander the Great, the philosopher-king of the classical Golden Age, who extended the Greek Empire toward Asia. Few people have been able to shape the cultural course of the world so decisively as Alexander the Great. Through the influence of his teacher Aristotle, the young king of Macedonia sowed the seeds of Greek architecture, philosophy and art in large parts of the Orient during his conquests. The cities founded by him – particularly Alexandria in Egypt – soon became centres of culture, science and research in the dawning age of Hellenism.
