EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing miniature from the Scylitzes Matritensis, a facsimile edition of an original manuscript dating back to the 11th century. The artwork vividly depicts the Byzantine Empire's relentless siege on Messina, capturing a pivotal moment in history. The image transports us to an era of intense military action and confrontation as Byzantine soldiers surround the city walls with determination. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient scene, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Byzantium's past. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition, we can almost feel the tension between East and West that defined this period. The towering walls of Messina stand defiantly against their besiegers while offering glimpses into a thriving community within. Through this remarkable piece, we are reminded of John Skylitzes' invaluable contribution to preserving historical events through his manuscript. Housed within Madrid's National Library, it serves as a testament to our collective heritage and knowledge. Santiago Ortega skillfully captures every intricate detail in this reproduction, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from these significant moments in time. This photograph is not only a visual feast for history enthusiasts but also an invitation to explore the complexities of medieval society and warfare.
