EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 6th century, we witness a significant moment in history as two monks present silkworms smuggled all the way from China to the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. Plate 2 from Vermis Sericus (The Silkworm), this artwork by Giovanni della Strada, also known as Joannes Stradanus, beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. The image showcases two monks on horseback, adorned in their religious robes and accompanied by a faithful dog. They approach Emperor Justinian with great reverence and offer him these precious silkworms that will forever change the course of Byzantine history. The emperor himself is depicted in regal attire, seated upon his majestic horse. This engraving not only highlights the importance of silk production but also symbolizes cultural exchange between East and West during this period. It represents an era when Constantinople (now Istanbul) was at its peak as a center for trade and industry. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, Jan van der Straat skillfully brings to life this pivotal moment where religion meets commerce. The print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity while shedding light on the influence of Christianity within Byzantium's royal court. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how even small creatures like silkworms can have far-reaching impacts on society – shaping economies, inspiring fashion trends, and fostering connections between distant lands.
