EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Attila, the renowned king of the Huns, taking a brief respite from his military conquests to entertain his esteemed guests with a grand supper. Dated circa 450 AD, this historical photograph transports us back to the heart of the Germanic world during the early Middle Ages. Attila, known for his fearsome reputation as a warrior, is shown in a more relaxed and gracious role, surrounded by his loyal followers and esteemed guests. The scene is set in a richly decorated hall, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant tapestries, reflecting the wealth and power of the Hun empire. The king himself is dressed in regal attire, wearing a fur-trimmed cloak and a golden crown, while his guests recline on luxurious cushions, enjoying the sumptuous feast prepared for them. The air is filled with the aroma of roasted meats, fresh bread, and fragrant wines, as the sounds of laughter and conversation fill the room. Despite his fearsome reputation, Attila was known to be a generous and hospitable host, and this scene offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of this legendary figure. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of historical figures, who were not one-dimensional warriors but also leaders, entertainers, and human beings. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the rich history of the Huns and the world they inhabited.
