EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th-century manuscript page, housed in the National Library of Madrid, showcases the renowned Byzantine general and leading aristocrat, Petronas the Patrician (d. 864). The image captures the triumphant moment of Petronas' victory against the Arab invaders, a significant event during the Byzantine Empire's tumultuous history. Petronas, depicted in full regalia, stands proudly on horseback, raising his right hand in a victorious gesture. He wears a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate gold and silver patterns, symbolizing his high rank as a patrician. The Arab forces, represented by a disorganized and fleeing crowd, lie defeated at his feet. This miniature painting is an illustration from the "Synopsis historiarum," a work by the Byzantine historian John Skylitzes. The manuscript was produced in Sicily, reflecting the cultural exchange and artistic influences that permeated the Mediterranean world during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the painting highlight the artistic mastery of the Byzantine tradition, which combined elements of Greek, Roman, and Christian art. The "Synopsis historiarum" is a valuable historical record of the Byzantine emperors' reigns, providing insights into the political, military, and social events of the time. This image of Petronas' victory serves as a testament to the resilience and military prowess of the Byzantine Empire in the face of external threats, making it an essential piece of Byzantine art and historical documentation.
