The Family of Darius III in front of Alexander the Great

The family of Darius before Alexander the Great is a historical painting currently attributed to Joost Susterman. The painting is currently preserved in the Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer, with registration number 1452 since then entered as a donation to the museum. The work is an oil on rectangular fabric of 141 × 110 centimeters. It has no signature either in front of or behind the fabric, which has provoked discussions about authorship. It belongs to the Catalan collector Josep Ferrer-Vidal Soler, who personally gave it to his friend Víctor Balaguer. The painting was accepted in the Museum as a piece by Joost Susterman and was not subject to specific study until 1978.
