EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Emperor Justinian (483-565) and his illustrious court, as depicted in the 14th-century manuscript "Justinianus Istitutiones". The image, preserved on vellum, emanates a sense of grandeur and historical significance. Emperor Justinian sits majestically upon his throne, exuding authority and power. His regal presence is further enhanced by the opulent crown adorning his head. Surrounding him are members of his esteemed retinue - courtiers who have earned their place in this prestigious gathering. Despite its age, the manuscript has suffered some damage over time. Yet even with these imperfections, it remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Emperor Justinian's reign. The intricate details captured within each figure's attire and expression offer a glimpse into medieval court life. The composition invites us to imagine ourselves transported back in time to witness this momentous occasion firsthand. We can almost hear hushed whispers among courtiers as they await their turn to address the emperor or seek favor from those in power. Through this photo print, we gain insight into an era long past – one characterized by political intrigue, cultural refinement, and absolute monarchy. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between centuries and allow us to connect with historical figures like Emperor Justinian on a personal level.
