EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two exquisite scenes depicted on a page of the illuminated codex of Alexander the Great, housed in the Scuola di San Giorgio de'Greci in Venice. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, transports us back to the Byzantine era during the first and second millennium A. D. The image captures intricate details of military life and warfare from that period. In one scene, we witness a brave soldier adorned in armor and armed with a lance or spear. His formidable presence reflects the strength and valor associated with medieval warriors. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in his attire highlights both fashion and functionality. In another scene, we are introduced to a political figure seated upon an ornate throne. This noble personage exudes power and authority as they wear a regal crown befitting their status as king or emperor. Their headdress, possibly religious in nature, adds an air of mystique to their persona. The artwork itself dates back to approximately the 11th century when Byzantine art flourished across Europe. Its vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes reflect the mastery of illumination prevalent during this time. Alinari Fratelli's expert photography allows us to appreciate these historical treasures up close while preserving their beauty for future generations. Through this lens, we can delve into ancient times where empires were forged through conquests led by legendary figures like Alexander the Great. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers valuable insights into medieval society, politics, military prowess, and cultural aesthetics that continue to captivate our imagination today.
