EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Byzantine art: a representation of Aelia, also known as Ariadne, Augusta or Ariane. The artwork is an ivory diptych carved relief from the 6th century AD, believed to be created around 500. It is currently housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The portrait depicts Empress Aelia Ariadne, who lived between approximately 450 and 515. She holds a regal presence with her scepter in hand, exuding power and authority. The intricate carving on the ivory reveals the mastery of the Byzantine School during this period. Ariadne's image is beautifully captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, who has expertly highlighted every detail of this ancient masterpiece. Her photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the significance of this historical figure within the Byzantine Empire. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era when empresses ruled and art flourished. The medium age portrayed here reflects both elegance and strength embodied by women like Aelia Ariadne. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating world of Byzantine art.
