EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a representation of Nikephoros II Phokas, also known as Nicephorus II Phocas, who reigned as the Byzantine Emperor from 963 to 969. The image is derived from an exquisite manuscript dating back to the 11th century and currently housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. The portrait captures the essence of this influential ruler with remarkable precision. Nikephoros II Phokas gazes confidently into the distance, exuding power and authority. The intricate details of his regal attire and ornate crown are beautifully illuminated through delicate brushstrokes, revealing the artistic mastery of the unknown artist. As one delves deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a historical figure; it encapsulates an era. This depiction transports us back to Byzantium during its golden age—a time when empires flourished and cultures thrived. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we are granted access to a glimpse of medieval history that continues to captivate our imagination today. This photograph serves as a testament to both the enduring legacy of Nikephoros II Phokas and the timeless beauty found within ancient manuscripts.
